Difference between Capillary and Precapillary sphincter

Capillary vs. Precapillary sphincter

A capillary is a small blood vessel from 5 to 10 micrometres (µm) in diameter, and having a wall one endothelial cell thick. A precapillary sphincter is a band of smooth muscle that adjusts blood flow into capillaries mainly in the mesenteric microcirculation.

Similarities between Capillary and Precapillary sphincter

Capillary and Precapillary sphincter have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Arteriole, Mesentery, Metarteriole, Microcirculation, Precapillary resistance.

Arteriole

An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation that extends and branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries.

Mesentery

The mesentery is a continuous set of tissues that attaches the intestines to the abdominal wall in humans and is formed by the double fold of peritoneum.

Metarteriole

A metarteriole (or arterial capillary) is a short vessel that links arterioles and capillaries.

Microcirculation

Microcirculation is the circulation of the blood in the smallest blood vessels, present within organ tissues.

Precapillary resistance

Precapillary resistance is the modulation of blood flow by capillaries through vasomotion, either opening (dilating) and letting blood pass through, or by constricting their lumens, reducing bloodflow through the capillary bed (occluding the passage of blood).
