| 11. | Unlike most other capillary beds, the glomerulus drains into an efferent arteriole rather than a venule.
|
| 12. | After filtration occurs, the blood moves through a small network of venules that converge into interlobular veins.
|
| 13. | Histologically, glomus tumors are made up of an afferent arteriole, anastomotic vessel, and collecting venule.
|
| 14. | Lymphocytes exit the blood stream and enter the lymph nodes via these specialized venules when an infection is detected.
|
| 15. | As blood travels through the venules to the veins a funneling occurs called vasodilation bringing blood back to the heart.
|
| 16. | After their passage through body tissues, capillaries merge once again into venules, which continue to merge into veins.
|
| 17. | Each portal venule courses alongside a hepatic arteriole and the two vessels form the vascular components of the portal triad.
|
| 18. | Studies indicated the primary involvement of capillaries, venules and veins, and possibly also that of arterioles and lymphatics.
|
| 19. | Microvasculature is defined as vessels ( venules or capillaries ) with a maximum average diameter of 0.3 millimeters.
|
| 20. | The capillaries connect to venules, and the blood then travels back through the network of veins to the right heart.
