The 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.

微循环是指微动脉与微静脉之间微血管中的血液循环，是血液与组织细胞进行物质交换的场所。在显微镜下才能加以观察。一般由微动脉、后微动脉、毛细血管前括约肌、真毛细血管、通血毛细血管、动-静脉吻合枝和微静脉七部分组成，是心血管系统与组织细胞直接接触的部分。微循环基本功能是实现物质代换，向各组织细胞输送养料和运走代谢产物。
