The venule is a very small vein. Arteriesalways take blood away from the heart but these arteries are too large for exchange of gasses and nutrient/wastes to occur. The arteries branch into smaller and smaller arteries. The smallest are called arterioles. The arterioles feed into capillary beds where this exchange can occur as the walls of the capillaries are very thin. Venules lead from the bed into larger and larger veins.
What else can I help you with?
What is a venule what is its length?
A venule is a smaller version of a vein.
What is the difference between a vein and venule?
A vein is larger than a venule. It is also closer to the heart and farther from the capillaries than a venule.
What structure within a capillary bed shunts blood from arteriole to venule?
Artery -> Arteriole -> Capillary -> Venule -> Vein
Where does the thoroughfare channel end?
venule
The flow of blood from an arteriole to a venule is called what?
Microcirculation
What is the difference between arteriole and venule blood flow?
An arteriole transports oxygenated blood from the arteries to the capillary beds and a venule transports de-oxygenated blood from the capillary beds to the veins.
What is a venule?
a smaller version of a vein.
How does blood flow from capillary to venule?
By the process of diffusion.
Is a venule is a tiny tube which gathers blood returning from the capillaries?
true
What is responsible for gaining ECF from blood at the arteriole end and venule end?
Hydrostatic pressure is the force the gains the ECF from blood at the ends of the arteriole and venule. This process depends heavily on gravity for it to work properly.
Why arterioles6 times thicker than the average venule?
The arterioles wall contains smooth muscle and elastic fibers and is six times thicker to handle the higher pressure in the arterioles. The venule is like a giant capillary.
What is a tiny vein?
A tiny vein is known as a venule. A tiny artery is an arteriole.
