Definition of Precapillary. Meaning of Precapillary. Synonyms of Precapillary

- A precapillary sphincter is a band of contractile mural cells either classified as smooth muscle or pericytes that adjusts blood flow into capillaries...
- [citation needed] some microscopically small, in particular the millions of precapillary sphincters. Sphincters relax at death, often releasing fluids and faeces...
- Precapillary resistance is the modulation of blood flow by capillaries through vasomotion, either opening (dilating) and letting blood p**** through, or...
- individual smooth muscle cells placed a short distance apart, each forming a precapillary sphincter that encircles the entrance to that capillary bed. Constriction...
- in women than in men. It causes more dilation in the arterioles and precapillary vessels than the postcapillary vessels and venules. The increased dilation...
- through modulation of nitric oxide pathways but also via intracranial precapillary vasoconstriction. Indometacin property of reducing cerebral blood flow...
- blocker, is caused by calcium channel blockers' preferential arteriolar or precapillary dilation without commensurate dilation in the venous or postcapillary...
- subpapillary plexus shunting also occurs. Persistent vasoconstriction at the precapillary sphincter creates a local hypoxic environment, thus releasing adenosine...
- more tortuous, while the capillaries of the mucosa gradually dilate and precapillary sphincter becomes incompetent. Thus is formed an arteriovenous malformation...
- Resistance arteries are usually small arteries or arterioles and include precapillary sphincters. Having thick muscular walls and narrow lumen they contribute...
