Arterioles were evaluated for fibrous thickening on a 4-point scale: 0 for normal thickness; 1 for slight thickening; 2 for moderate thickening; and 3 for advanced thickening.

Arterioles connect to capillaries, which are the smallest blood vessels and are where the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste occurs between the blood and the cells of the body.

Arteries can be thought of as a system of pipes that branch into narrower blood vessels, called arterioles, until reaching ...

Blood vessels called arterioles near the surface of the skin dilate (get wider) allowing more blood to the skin surface where more heat can be lost by radiation.

Learn the differences between arteries and veins, the body's two main types of blood vessels, with a focus on their function and structure.

Vasoconstriction - blood vessels near the surface of the skin called arterioles constrict (become narrower) allowing less blood to the skin surface and therefore less heat is lost by radiation.
