Arterioles belong to the circulatory system, which is responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various tissues and organs in the body. Arterioles are small blood vessels that branch out from arteries and help regulate blood flow and blood pressure by constricting or dilating.

How would you justify the statement The bronchioles are to the respiratory system what the arterioles are to the cardiovascular system?

Bronchioles means little bronchi and arterioles means, literally, little arteries. Since the bronchioles are in the respiratory system and the arterioles are in the cardiovascular system, this would be a fair comparison.


What are the small arteries of the circulatory system?

As arteries become smaller to pass through narrower places, they are known as arterioles. Arterioles then branch out into capillaries.


In which part of the circulatory system does the greatest pressure drop occur?

The greatest pressure drop in the circulatory system occurs in the arterioles. Arterioles are small, muscular blood vessels that regulate blood flow and control blood pressure. As blood travels from the arteries to the capillaries, the arterioles cause a significant decrease in pressure to ensure proper exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues.


What would cause vasoldilation of arterioles?

decreased activity of the sympathetic nervous system


What is the Blood supply that directly receives substances from the tubular cells in urinary system?

You have portal system of blood circulation in case of kidney tubules. In portal system, you have afferent arterioles, divided to form primary capillaries and capillaries reunite to form efferent arterioles. The efferent arterioles again divide to form the secondary capillaries. So you have secondary capillaries, there in urinary system, to receive the substances, directly from tubular cells.

Veins belong to the circulatory system, because they transport blood there for they belong to the circulatory system.


What organ system does the eyes belong?

The eyes belong to the Nervous system.


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.
