These arteries eventually branch into the arterioles, the smallest of the arteries.

这些动脉最终会分支为小动脉，即最小的动脉。

Instead the glomerulus funnels blood into efferent arterioles which divide into capillaries a second time.

而是由肾小球将血液输送进入出球小动脉，后者分支复成毛细血管网。

This is where the arteriole walls develop hyaline deposits, which makes it harder for them to dilate.

这是小动脉壁形成透明沉积物的地方，使得它们很难扩张。

A small alley is as small to the city as an arteriole 0.1 millimeters wide is to you.

一条小巷之于一座城市来说，就像一条0.1毫米宽的动脉对你来说一样渺小。

So with vasodilation of the arterioles, more heat gets lost which, therefore, helps to lower body temperature.

因此，随着动脉血管舒张，更多热量会流失，有助于降低体温。

The cortical radiate arteries continue to divide eventually forming afferent arterioles that split into a tiny bundle of capillaries called the glomerulus.

小叶间动脉继续分支，最后形成入球小动脉；后者再分成若干小支形成一团微小的毛细血管球，即肾小球。

We previously learned that arterioles have a smaller diameter than arteries.

我们以前了解到，小动脉的直径比动脉小。

This process of glycation particularly affects the efferent arteriole and causes it to get stiff and more narrow - a process called hyaline arteriosclerosis.

这种糖基化过程尤其影响出球小动脉，使其硬化、变窄——该过程叫玻璃样动脉硬化。

Just like in the lungs, the aorta branches into arterioles which are smaller arteries and, finally, into capillaries which are the smallest.

就像在肺部一样，主动脉分叉为小动脉，最后变为毛细血管。

Vasodilation of the arterioles decreases resistance and increases blood flow.

小动脉血管扩张减少了阻力，增加了血流量。
