venule

On the other end of the capillary, it turns into a venule.

A venule is a very small blood vessel.

This is seen at right-angle crossing points, where the venule crosses the arteriole in a horseshoe shape.

Blood capillaries are found beneath the epidermis, and are linked to an arteriole and a venule.

Unlike most other capillary beds, the glomerulus drains into an efferent arteriole rather than a venule.

(This contrasts with the process of solenophagy, used by mosquitos, in which feeding is direct from a small venule.)

Histologically, glomus tumors are made up of an afferent arteriole, anastomotic vessel, and collecting venule.

Each portal venule courses alongside a hepatic arteriole and the two vessels form the vascular components of the portal triad.

Blood is carried out of the glomerulus by an efferent arteriole instead of a venule, as is observed in most other capillary systems.

A venule is a very small blood vessel in the microcirculation that allows blood to return from the capillary beds to the larger blood vessels called veins.

In contrast to regular venules, high endothelial venules are a special type of venule where the endothelium is made up of simple cuboidal cells.

The formation of capillaries from pre-existing blood vessels requires the remodeling of both the peicapillary membrane of the parent venule, as well as the local and distal ECM.

It is thought that, since the arteriole and venule share a common sheath, the arteriole's thicker walls push against those of the venule forcing the venule to collapse.

Lymphocytes, however, show quite specific recirculation patterns in which particular subsets leave the blood circulation by first adhering to high endothelial venule cells at specific sites - for example, peripheral lymph nodes or mucosal associated lymphoid tissue.

The newly transformed schistosomulum may remain in the skin for two days before locating a post-capillary venule; from here the schistosomulum travels to the lungs where it undergoes further developmental changes necessary for subsequent migration to the liver.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures, or TIPS involve decompressing the portal vein by shunting a portal venule to a lower pressure systemic venule, under guidance with fluoroscopy.

Batson noted "the extensive filling of the vertebral veins, the superior longitudinal sinus, transverse sinus as well as other dural and cerebral veins" following injection of radiopaque material into a superficial venule in the left breast (Batson 1940, Figure 5, page 143).
