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.

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

Your body has a network of blood vessels over 60,000 miles in length. This amazing circulatory system includes three types of blood vessels — arteries, veins, and capillaries. Each plays an ...

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.

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.

The arterioles are the smallest arteries (0.01-0.3mm in diameter). In certain areas, they have all three vascular layers (tunica intima, media and externa). When they are close to the capillaries they ...

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.
