Arterioles are the blood vessels in the arterial side of the vascular tree that are located proximal to the capillaries and, in conjunction with the terminal arteries, provide the majority of resistance to blood flow. Consequently, arterioles are important contributors to the regulation of mean arterial pressure and tissue perfusion. Their wall consists of cellular and extracellular components that have been traditionally classified as conforming three layers: an intima containing endothelial cells sited on a basement membrane; a media made of an internal elastic lamina apposed by one or two layers of smooth muscle; and an adventitia composed mostly of collagen bundles, nerve endings and some fibroblasts. These components of the arteriolar wall are dynamically interconnected, providing a level of plasticity to the arteriolar wall that blurs the traditional boundaries of a rigid layered classification. This MiniReview focuses on the structural conformation of the arteriolar wall and shows how wall components interact spatially, functionally and temporally to control vascular diameter, regulate blood flow and maintain vascular permeability.
