title: Microcirculatory unit. Actual news.
abstract: The microcirculatory unit is the localization of important exchanges. Any disturbance in the state of equilibrium, though at first functional, quickly becomes organic. This imbalance can appear at the level of the secretion of prostaglandin modification of the capillary permeability, which may be the consequence of Paf Acether secretion. Free Radical release can disrupt the normal functioning of the cell wall. Venotonic drugs act at this level, assisting the return to normal histochemical equilibrium.
