Etymology
The term 'arteriole' comes from the Latin word 'arteriola', which means small artery. Arterioles were first described in the 17th century by Marcello Malpighi, an Italian physician and biologist known as the 'father of microscopical anatomy'. These small blood vessels have since been studied extensively for their role in regulating blood flow and pressure.
