Microcirculation is a critical part of how our body works. It’s the process that ensures every cell gets the nutrients, oxygen, and other vital substances it needs through the tiniest blood vessels throughout our bodies, like arterioles and capillaries. At the same time, it helps remove waste products, such as carbon dioxide and toxins. The prefix “micro” is related to the smallest vessels within our organ system. Microcirculation is divided into numerous structures: Arteriols, capillars, lymphatic vessels as well as the entire interstitial space between those.
