Description

The circulation of the blood in the smallest blood vessels, also known as the microvessels, is referred to as microcirculation. It comprises terminal arterioles, metarterioles, capillaries, and venules. Arterioles circulate oxygenated blood to the capillaries, and blood flows out of the capillaries through venules into veins. Microcirculation also encompasses lymphatic capillaries and collecting ducts. Microcirculation is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, and the removal of carbon dioxide. It also regulates blood flow and tissue perfusion. Microcirculation is distinct from macrocirculation which involves the circulation of blood to and from the organs. This book explores all the clinical aspects of microcirculation in the present-day scenario. Such selected concepts that redefine this field have been presented herein. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field.
