Venular-arteriolar communication in the regulation of blood flow

Muscle blood flow is regulated to meet the metabolic needs of the tissue. With the vasculature arranged as a successive branching of arterioles and the larger, >50 mum, arterioles providing the major site of resistance, an increasing metabolic demand requires the vasodilation of the small arterio...

Zusammenfassung:Muscle blood flow is regulated to meet the metabolic needs of the tissue. With the vasculature arranged as a successive branching of arterioles and the larger, >50 mum, arterioles providing the major site of resistance, an increasing metabolic demand requires the vasodilation of the small arterioles first then the vasodilation of the more proximal, larger arterioles.
