متن کاملRetinal microcirculation and early mechanisms of hypertension.
The microcirculation plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of hypertension.1,2 The increase in peripheral resistance underlying the raised blood pressure is localized primarily in small arteries (diameter 150 to 300 m) and arterioles (diameter 10 to 150 m). The rise in blood pressure causes a further narrowing of small arteries and rarefaction of capillaries and precapillary arterioles, ...

An exact definition of microcirculation is elusive.
