An arteriole /ÉrËtÉªÉri.oÊl/ is a small diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation that extends and branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries. Arterioles have muscular walls (usually only one to two layers of smooth muscle) and are the primary site of vascular resistance.The greatest change in blood pressure and velocity of blood flow occurs at the transition of arterioles to capillaries.The decreased velocity of flow in the capillaries reduces the pressure and increases exchange of gas and nutrients.Arterioles receive autonomic nervous system innervation and respond to various circulating hormones in order to regulate their diameter. Retinal vessels lack a functional sympathetic innervation.he greatest change in blood pressure and velocity of blood flow occurs at the transition of arterioles to capillaries. The decreased velocity of flow in the capillaries reduces the pressure and increases exchange of gas and nutrients.
