Afferent arterioles
The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems.

Ageing
Ageing or aging (see spelling differences) is the process of becoming older.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Ageing · See more »
Arteriole
An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation that extends and branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Arteriole · See more »
Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis is the thickening, hardening and loss of elasticity of the walls of arteries.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Arteriosclerosis · See more »
Artery
An artery (plural arteries) is a blood vessel that takes blood away from the heart to all parts of the body (tissues, lungs, etc).
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Artery · See more »
Atheroma
An atheroma is a reversible accumulation of degenerative material in the inner layer of an artery wall.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Atheroma · See more »
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Atherosclerosis · See more »
Benign nephrosclerosis
Benign nephrosclerosis refers to the renal changes most commonly occurring in association with long-standing hypertension.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Benign nephrosclerosis · See more »
Blood plasma
Blood plasma is a yellowish coloured liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells in whole blood in suspension; this makes plasma the extracellular matrix of blood cells.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Blood plasma · See more »
Blood vessel
The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Blood vessel · See more »
Circulatory system
The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Diabetes mellitus · See more »
Efferent arteriole
The efferent arterioles are blood vessels that are part of the urinary tract of organisms.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Efferent arteriole · See more »
Endothelium
Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Endothelium · See more »
Extracellular matrix
In biology, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a collection of extracellular molecules secreted by support cells that provides structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Extracellular matrix · See more »
Hyaline
A hyaline substance is one with a glassy appearance.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Hyaline · See more »
Hypertension
Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Hypertension · See more »
Hypertensive emergency
A hypertensive emergency, also known as malignant hypertension, is high blood pressure with potentially life-threatening symptoms and signs indicative of acute impairment of one or more organ systems (especially the central nervous system, cardiovascular system or the kidneys).
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Hypertensive emergency · See more »
Immunosuppressive drug
Immunosuppressive drugs or immunosuppressive agents or antirejection medications are drugs that inhibit or prevent activity of the immune system.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Immunosuppressive drug · See more »
Ischemia
Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Ischemia · See more »
Kidney
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Kidney · See more »
Lumen (anatomy)
In biology, a lumen (plural lumina) is the inside space of a tubular structure, such as an artery or intestine.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Lumen (anatomy) · See more »
Nephron
The nephron (from Greek νεφρός – nephros, meaning "kidney") is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Nephron · See more »
Periodic acid–Schiff stain
Periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) is a staining method used to detect polysaccharides such as glycogen, and mucosubstances such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and mucins in tissues.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Periodic acid–Schiff stain · See more »
Renal function
Renal function, in nephrology, is an indication of the kidney's condition and its role in renal physiology.
New!!: Arteriolosclerosis and Renal function · See more »
Renin
Renin (etymology and pronunciation), also known as an angiotensinogenase, is an aspartic protease protein and enzyme secreted by the kidneys that participates in the body's renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS)—also known as the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone axis—that mediates the volume of extracellular fluid (blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid), and arterial vasoconstriction.

Smooth muscle tissue
Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle.
