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.

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 one substance that is found in higher concentrations in the venule than in the arteriole?

Carbon dioxide is one substance that is found in higher concentrations in the venule than in the arteriole. This is because carbon dioxide is produced by cells during metabolism and diffuses from the tissues into the blood, resulting in higher concentrations in the venous circulation.


What is the structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney?

The structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney is the efferent arteriole. This arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus and plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow and pressure within the kidney.


In the kidney what structure that delivers blood to the glomerulus?

The afferent arteriole.


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.
