There isnt exactly specific arterioles because every conduction system of Arteries flow from Elastic arteries -> muscular arteries -> arterioles. Arterioles are the smallest of the arteries and produce the greatest vascular resistance of blood. The blood then passes onto capillaries for gas/waste/nutrient exchange.

Contraction of the smooth muscle in arterioles would decrease blood pressure?
No it would increase BP, as contraction of the smooth muscle in the arterioles will make the lumen (holes) of the arterioles smaller, restricting blood flow.
What is the shortest atery in the body?
They are called arterioles.
What Site has the greatest resistance to blood flow?
Arterioles.
What causes arterioles in the damaged area to dilate during the inflammatory response?
Histamine
Which Site is the major determinant of peripheral resistance?
cardiac output and heart rate
What blood vessel connects arteries to capillaries?
Arterioles.
What are cardiovascular adadptions?
incorporations of father arterioles by daughter arterioles
What happens to arterioles when the body temperature falls?
I have same question It happens a dilation of the arterioles.
Do arterioles have valves?
No; arteries (and arterioles) depend on smooth muscle contraction, whereas veins (and venules) have valves.
Structure and function of arterioles?
The function of arterioles is to draw blood away from the brain and into harry bush's penis.
What vessel play a key role in regulating blood flow into capillaries?
arterioles
Where does a capillary arise from?
Arterioles
Do muscular arteries branch into arterioles?
Yes blood passes through Elastic Arteries, Muscular Arteries, and then Arterioles.
Contraction of the smooth muscle in arterioles would decrease blood pressure?
No it would increase BP, as contraction of the smooth muscle in the arterioles will make the lumen (holes) of the arterioles smaller, restricting blood flow.
Which blood vessel offer most resistance to blood flow?
Arterioles generally have the highest resistance because they are so extremely small.
What is the meaning of arterioles?
Arterioles are very small arteries which lead from arteries in to a capillary bed where gases, wastes and nutrients are exchanged.
What are arterioles and what are capillaries?
Arteioles are blood vessels that connect arteries and capillaries. Capillaries are blood vessels that connect arterioles and venules
