  Venule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A venule is a small blood vessel that allows blood to return from the capillary beds to the larger blood vessels called veins.
Venules have three layers: An inner endothelium composed of squamous epithelial cells that act as a membrane, a middle layer of muscle and elastic tissue, and an outer layer of fibrous connective tissue.
The middle layer is poorly developed so that venules have thinner walls than arterioles.

 Spotting the connection
They isolated tissues in which they could observe a venule parallel to and in close pairing with an arteriole that had a branching capillary; an unpaired arteriole with a branching capillary; and an unpaired venule into which a capillary converged.
Only in the tissue in which a venule was in close pairing with an arteriole did the fluid release in the branching capillary increase.
Harris suggests that the white blood cells may exit the venule through gaps in the blood vessel wall, then migrate closer to the arteriole where they initiate a chemical or electrical signal that is transported by the arteriole to the branching capillaries.

 Search Results for venule - Encyclopædia Britannica
The renal venules (small veins) and veins accompany the arterioles and arteries and are referred to by similar names.
The vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries, and their very small branches are arterioles.
Venules collect blood from the capillaries and the blood channels known as sinusoids and unite to form progressively larger veins that terminate as the great veins, or venae cavae.

The oxygen is carried to the tissues by the aorta and the deoxygenated blood, collected from the various parts of the body, is conveyed into the right atrium via the superior vena cava.
