Etymology

The term 'arteriole' originated from the combination of the Latin words 'arteria' (meaning artery) and the diminutive suffix '-ole', indicating a small version of something. Arterioles were first described in the 19th century by anatomists studying the circulatory system. These small vessels play a crucial role in regulating blood flow and maintaining proper circulation in the body.
