Etymology

The term 'arteriole' originates from the two words 'artery' and 'ole', which means small in Latin. The concept of arterioles was first described in the 17th century by physiologist William Harvey in his work on the circulation of blood. Understanding the role of arterioles has since been crucial in the field of medicine and physiology.
