capillary arrangement

Higher the metabolic rate in a tissue, the denser its capillary networks •Rich capillary supply in muscle and nerve tissue, since they use a large amount of O2 and nutrients •Tissues with lower metabolic rate, such as cartilage, have fewer capillaries Capillary patterns differ; some directly connect arterioles to venules, others branch out into complex networks

•Physical exercise •Body temperature •Fight-or-flight response •Concentration of various ions, such as K+ and Ca+2

SA node (pacemaker) normally controls the heart rate, and heart rate changes occur due to factors that influence the SA node Sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers modify the heart rate in response to changing conditions, such as:
