Description: WebA metarteriole is a short microvessel in the microcirculation that links arterioles and capillaries. Instead of a continuous tunica media, they have individual smooth muscle cells placed a short distance apart, each forming a precapillary sphincter that encircles the entrance to that capillary bed. Constriction of these sphincters reduces or ...

Description: WebA metarteriole is a type of vessel that has structural characteristics of both an arteriole and a capillary. Slightly larger than the typical capillary, the smooth muscle of the tunica media of the metarteriole is not continuous but forms rings of smooth muscle (sphincters) prior to the entrance to the capillaries.

Description: WebA metarteriole is a branch of the smallest arteriole that connects it to the capillary bed. It branches further to supply blood to a capillary bed that may consist of 10–100 capillaries. A metarteriole is slightly larger than a typical capillary and shares structural characteristics of both an arteriole and a capillary.
