A venule is a smaller version of a vein.
A vein is larger than a venule. It is also closer to the heart and farther from the capillaries than a venule.

Microcirculation
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.
By the process of diffusion.

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.
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.
A tiny vein is known as a venule. A tiny artery is an arteriole.
