No; arteries (and arterioles) depend on smooth muscle contraction, whereas veins (and venules) have valves.
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.
What are examples of arterioles?
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.
