Induced Changes

Arteriolar vasomotion was characterized in the skin muscle of the unanesthetized hamster skinfold window preparation and related to the specific arterioles that give rise to the different types of activity. The arterioles were classified according to the Strahler method: order 0 was assigned to capillaries and order 4 to the largest arterioles. The arterioles showed vasomotion with a specific range of frequencies that varied according to the vessel order; the highest fundamental frequency (9.1 +/- 3.9 cycles/min) was detected in the smallest order 1 arterioles and the lowest frequency (2.1 +/- 0.9 cycles/min) in order 4 vessels. Hypoxia (8, 11, and 15% O2 gas mixture inspiration) increased the frequency of vasomotion, decreased mean and effective diameters, and reduced capillary blood flow. The effects were more pronounced with an 8 and 11% O2 gas mixture. Hypoxia caused high-frequency vasomotion to shift from order 1 and 2 arterioles to the beginning of order 3 arterioles, which in this condition dominated the daughter vessels and generated the prominent activity (24 +/- 4 cycles/min, 11% O2 gas mixture). Hypertoxia (100% O2) induced differentiated arteriolar responses. The smallest vessels showed prolonged constriction, decreased mean and effective diameters, and reduced frequency of vasomotion. Capillary blood flow was restricted. Order 3 vessels did not constrict or dilate.
