Metarteriole and thoroughfare channel can unite to allow a direct arterial/venous flow exchange

TRUE

In most body regions, we can find the capillary bed consists of two types of vessels and a vascular shunt(metarteriole–thoroughfare channel) is one type of vessel and is a short vessel that directly connects the arteriole and venule at opposite ends of the bed.

Metarteriole and Thoroughfare Channel creates a direct capillary connections between arterioles and venules and these are known to be controlled by smooth muscle segments in wall of passageway and this channel allow a direct arterial/venous flow exchange.
