microcirculation
Sign in to saveThe microcirculation is the circulation of the blood in the smallest blood vessels, the microvessels of the microvasculature present within organ tissues. The microvessels include terminal arterioles, metarterioles, capillaries, and venules. Arterioles carry oxygenated blood to the capillaries, and blood flows out of the capillaries through venules into veins.

La microcirculation, dans le système de circulation sanguine générale, désigne le sous-ensemble du système circulatoire où s'effectuent les échanges gazeux et liquidiens extracellulaires. Elle s'effectue dans un réseau dont les éléments ont des dimensions et diamètres le plus souvent micrométrique à nanométrique (réseaux sanguin et lymphatique).
