A stylized histological illustration of an arteriole shows a small muscular blood vessel with circumferential vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) forming the tunica media around a narrow lumen. The luminal surface is lined by endothelial cells (ECs) constituting the tunica intima. In the hierarchy of the cardiovascular system, the arteriole is part of the microcirculation. In anatomy and physiology, SMC contraction and relaxation regulate vasoconstriction, tissue perfusion, peripheral resistance, and arterial blood pressure.
