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?

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?
