The structure of an arteriole is:
Arterioles are tiny branches of arteries that lead to capillaries.
These are also under the control of the sympathetic nervous system, and constrict and dialate, to regulate blood flow.

∙ 14y agoStructure of venules:
Venule walls have three layers: An inner endothelium composed of squamous endothelial cells that act as a membrane, a middle layer of muscle and elastic tissue and an outer layer of fibrous connective tissue. The middle layer is poorly developed so that venules have thinner walls than arterioles.
In contrast to regular venules, high endothelial venules are a special type of venule where the endothelium is made up of simple cuboidal cells. Lymphocytes re-enter the bloodstream through the HEVs.
They form from anastomosis of capillaries.

What kind of vessel gives blood to a capillary?
Either a arteriole on the artery side or a venule on the vein side of the bed.
What is the structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney?
The efferent arteriole.
Which one of the following sets of structures correctly lists the sequence of blood flow in the human body?
atrium, ventricle, artery, arteriole, capillary, venule, vein
Does the efferent arteriole take blood to the nephron?
No. I recieves blood from the afferent arteriole.
An obstruction in the afferent arteriole would reduce the flow of blood into the?
efferent arteriole]
What structure within a capillary bed shunts blood from arteriole to venule?
Artery -> Arteriole -> Capillary -> Venule -> Vein
The flow of blood from an arteriole to a venule is called what?
Microcirculation
What is the difference between arteriole and venule blood flow?
An arteriole transports oxygenated blood from the arteries to the capillary beds and a venule transports de-oxygenated blood from the capillary beds to the veins.
What is responsible for gaining ECF from blood at the arteriole end and venule end?
Hydrostatic pressure is the force the gains the ECF from blood at the ends of the arteriole and venule. This process depends heavily on gravity for it to work properly.
What kind of vessel gives blood to a capillary?
Either a arteriole on the artery side or a venule on the vein side of the bed.
What do the caplaries do?
Capillaries are blood vessels in the body that help transfer nutrients and waste between blood and tissue. They connect two other blood vessels, the arteriole and the venule.
What is the Medical term meaning tubes that carry the blood?
It's called blood vessel. it can be of following type viz Artery, Vein, Arteriole, Venule, Capillary.
In the kidney what structure that delivers blood to the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole.
What is the structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney?
The efferent arteriole.
Which one of the following sets of structures correctly lists the sequence of blood flow in the human body?
atrium, ventricle, artery, arteriole, capillary, venule, vein
Where does the transition from an afferent arteriole to an efferent arteriole occur?
glomerulus. The afferent arteriole leads to a ball of capillaries called a glomerulus which is enclosed in a nephron structure called the glomerular capsule. Blood leaves the glomerulus by way of the efferent arteriole.
What is the function of a pulmonary arteriole?
a pulmonary artieriole is part of the respiratory system. inside the respiratory system is an organ called alveoli and the alveoli are covered in a network of capillary. the job of the pulmonary arteriole is to carry deoxygenated blood into the capillary network.
