The possibilities of modern non-invasive methods of studying microcirculation in humans allow you to immerse yourself in the world of fundamental physiological processes on the opposite heart to the «pole» of the cardiovascular system and to obtain data that were previously inaccessible to researchers. For example, laser Doppler flowmetry and computer capillaroscopy make it possible to obtain information on the vasomotor activity of resistive precapillary arterial and capillary sphincters that regulate the flow of blood to the exchange unit. This mechanism ensures the exchange of water-soluble and low-molecular substances and is determined by parameters of hemodynamics. The review briefly analyzes the main structural and functional aspects of the microvascular bed of the skin, which must be taken into account when conducting non-invasive studies of the microcirculation system in humans.
