The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Arterioles have muscular walls and are the primary site of vascular resistance.
- The greatest change in blood pressure and velocity of blood flow occurs at the transition of arterioles to capillaries.
- This function is extremely important because it prevents the thin, one-layer capillaries from exploding upon pressure.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Arteriole article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 54 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
