Artery -> Arteriole -> Capillary -> Venule -> Vein
Where does the thoroughfare channel end?

The flow of blood from an arteriole to a venule is called what?
Microcirculation
What does Venule look like?
A venule is a very small blood vessel. It drains a capillary bed and meets up with other venules which drain blood into larger vessels called veins.

true
How does blood flow from capillary to venule?
By the process of diffusion.
What do venule do?
it is a part in the heart which reforms the bases of the muscle contamination in the heart.
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.
