Abstract
During an increasing metabolic demand, as in exercise, the close venular-arteriolar pairing allows for diffusion of vasoactive substances from the venular blood to the arterioles. Adenosine triphosphate release from red blood cells may stimulate the venular endothelium to release vasoactive metabolites of arachidonic acid. The venous circulation is in an optimal position to provide a feedback regulation of arteriolar diameter.Entities:
