👉 Autovasculature refers to the network of small blood vessels within a body part that supply oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste products. These tiny vessels include capillaries, venules, and venules, which are smaller than arteries and veins. Autovasculature is especially important in tissues with high metabolic activity, such as muscles and the brain, where efficient oxygen and nutrient delivery is crucial. Disruptions in autovasculature can lead to various diseases, including peripheral artery disease and diabetic foot ulcers.
