The blood volume of microcirculation is in direct proportion to the dp of arteriole and veinule,and in inverse proportion to the whole resistance of microcirculation.
The cortical radiate arteries continue to divide eventually forming afferent arterioles that split into a tiny bundle of capillaries called the glomerulus.
This process of glycation particularly affects the efferent arteriole and causes it to get stiff and more narrow - a process called hyaline arteriosclerosis.
The smallest subdivisions of arteries, the arterioles, have thinner walls in which there are very little connective tissues but relatively more muscle.
In fact, the mesangium is continuous with the smooth muscles of the afferent and efferent arterioles, and fills in the space between the loops of blood vessels, hence the name.
So that blood goes from the pulmonary artery into a pulmonary arteriole, which is a little bit smaller and, finally, into a capillary which is the smallest.
In arterioles, a process called hyaline arteriolosclerosis is where the walls of arterioles where they develop hyaline deposits, which are the deposits of proteins, and these make them hard and inflexible.
On the other end of the capillary bed there's a venule, and the arteriole and venule are usually directly connected by a vessel called the metarteriole.
