01
Overview
Microcirculation refers to the network of the smallest blood vessels (arterioles, capillaries, venules) that ensure the delivery of oxygen and nutrients and the removal of metabolic waste at the tissue level. Local microcirculation describes these processes as they occur in a specific region, providing insights into tissue health, wound healing, and pathophysiology in disease states. The function of local microcirculation is regulated by tissue demands, endothelial factors (such as nitric oxide), myogenic and metabolic signals, and can be impaired in many disease states including diabetes, sepsis, and vascular disorders[1][2][3][5][6][8].
