Microvasculature

Molecular classification: Anatomical structure, Vascular network

Overview

The microvasculature refers to the network of the smallest blood vessels in the body, including arterioles, capillaries, and venules. These vessels form an intricate system responsible for regulating local blood perfusion and facilitating exchange between blood and tissues. The microvasculature is present in all organ systems and plays a critical role in tissue health by delivering oxygen and nutrients, removing waste products, regulating blood flow, and maintaining homeostasis. Microvascular dysfunction can lead to impaired tissue perfusion or abnormal leakage/inflammation and is implicated in various diseases.
