Document Summary
Ateries decreasing in diameter and become smaller (less blood flow) The union of branches of two or more arteries supplying the same body region: function: provide an alternative path of there is an obstruction. The ability of blood to flow through alternative routes to a body part through and anasomosis. Because they are going to regulate the amount of blood that goes into capillary beds. Exchange of co2 and oxygen: consists of only 2 layers, endothelium, basement membrane. Where the blood is received after it goes through the capillary. The tissues in our body that are more metabolically active have more extensive capillary beds. Eyes, lungs, brain, liver, and the nervous system. Proximal end of the metarteriole is surrounded by scattered smooth mucle fibers who contraction and relation help regulate blood flow: write out the flow of blood through a capillary bed: arteriole metarteriole capilarry beds post capillary venule + venule.
