mikrovaskulaarsüsteemis

The mikrovaskulaarsüsteem, or microvascular system, refers to the smallest blood vessels in the body. These include capillaries, arterioles, and venules. The primary function of the microvascular system is to facilitate the exchange of substances between the blood and the surrounding tissues. Capillaries, the smallest of these vessels, have extremely thin walls that allow for the diffusion of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products. Arterioles are small arteries that branch into capillaries, and they play a crucial role in regulating blood flow and pressure to specific tissue areas through vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Venules are small veins that collect blood from capillaries and merge to form larger veins. The health and function of the mikrovaskulaarsüsteem are essential for maintaining tissue viability and overall physiological homeostasis. Dysfunction in this system can contribute to various diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and inflammatory conditions, impacting nutrient delivery and waste removal at the cellular level. The intricate network of the microvascular system is vital for every organ and tissue within the body.
