Microcirculation refers to the blood circulation between arterioles and venules, and it is the place where blood and tissue cells exchange substances.
In addition, you can look at Baidu Encyclopedia, which has a very detailed introduction.
The blood vessels of the human body are the pipes that transport blood. Like the same big river, they gradually branch and irrigate the surrounding land. It also nourishes tissue cells around blood vessels. When blood reaches arterioles through large vessels, it will flow through the widely distributed capillary network and then merge into tiny venules. Microcirculation provides oxygen and nutrition for tissues and cells, takes away metabolic wastes and ensures normal life activities. Microcirculatory disturbance is involved in many diseases, such as acute inflammation, trauma, burn, shock, chronic ulcer, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, senile hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. Therefore, improving microcirculation is helpful to the health of the body and the rehabilitation of diseases. According to this, scientists suggest that any measures to improve microcirculation disorders will help to delay the aging process of tissues and cells, thus prolonging people's life.
Everyone's body has a "river of life" that runs day and night, and that is the microcirculation system of our human body. Microcirculatory system refers to the blood circulation among arterioles, capillary network and venules. Microcirculation also plays the role of "the second heart", because the blood in the heart cannot be transported to the cells only by the contractility of the heart, and the blood supply must be adjusted again through the microvessels before the blood can be infused into the cells.
Microcirculation is the most basic unit of circulatory system, and it is a reticular capillary structure between the distal end of arterial system and the beginning of venous system. The micro-blood flow is called microcirculation, which is the place for direct material exchange and cell metabolism. If you don't pay attention to health care and prevention, the microcirculation will easily fail. Once the microcirculation is disturbed, water or tangible substances in the micro-blood flow will seep out, leading to edema, and the sensory endings around the microcirculation will feel local pain, numbness and chills. Local tissues can't get fresh blood supply, so they will lack oxygen and nutrition and be in a pathological state; Locally, it will also stimulate the terminal to feel pain, because the metabolites cannot be removed.
Blood goes with qi, qi stagnation leads to blood stagnation, and blood stagnation leads to all diseases-that is, microcirculation disorder can lead to many diseases. For example, when microcirculation disturbance occurs in the nervous system, brain cells can't get enough nutrition and oxygen, and cell metabolites can't be completely excreted due to insufficient blood supply, which will lead to headache, dizziness, insomnia, dreaminess, memory loss, and even stroke, hemiplegia, Alzheimer's disease and so on. When microcirculatory disturbance occurs in cardiovascular system, myocardial cells are undernourished, resulting in chest tightness, palpitation, angina pectoris, arrhythmia and even myocardial infarction. When microcirculation disturbance occurs in the respiratory system, chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, asthma, bronchitis and so on occur. Will happen; When there is microcirculation disturbance in digestive system, gastrointestinal absorption function is not good, malnutrition, sallow and emaciated, diarrhea or constipation appear, and gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer appear in severe cases. When microcirculation disturbance occurs in endocrine system, it can lead to various hormone secretion disorders, and lead to hyperthyroidism, diabetes, mastitis, lobular hyperplasia and so on. Microcirculatory disturbance of genitourinary system leads to nephritis, renal failure, female pelvic inflammatory disease, irregular menstruation, male prostatitis and cystitis.
The capillaries in microcirculation are very long, about 9 ~1.2000 km, which can circle the earth for two and a half weeks. Distributed in every corner of the human body. Where there are cells; The microcirculation is unobstructed, and all diseases are not born. Microcirculatory disturbance is the source of all diseases. When microcirculation drops, human aging begins. If you want to be healthy and beautiful, please start by caring about your second heart-microcirculation!
Microcirculation movement is established according to the overall concept of TCM theory: internal diseases are treated externally, external diseases are treated both internally and externally, and external diseases are treated internally. It aims to improve the overall microcirculation of deep body, organs and systems by stimulating the surfaces of head, face, body and limbs. Health, sub-health or patients can benefit.
