What is microcirculation?

What is microcirculation?

I have an exam tomorrow on cellulitis and some people have told me to research microcirculation i dont really understand -maybe im just really tired but i feel so dumb for having to get this explained. :cry:

"The microcirculation is the blood flow through blood vessels smaller than 100 µm (i.e. arterioles, capillaries, and venules). The main functions of the microcirculation are transporting blood cells and substances to/from the tissues, and as body coolant in thermoregulation processes. It also contributes to tissues color and stiffness."(Wikipedia, 2008)

This is what i have found but how can this effect cellulitis? Please help a tired nurse:cry:

any compromise in microcirculation, will/can result in the amt of wbc's and antibiotic able to reach the site of infection.

those w/diabetes and immunocompromised, are typical of those who present w/microcirculatory debility.

good luck on your test!
