Question

Define venule.

Answer 1

Venule:

1. A small blood vessel or vein that receives blood from the capillaries is called a venule.
2. Venules are thin-walled and can easily rupture.

Transport:

1. Since the venules are small, they help in micro-circulation in the body.
2. The venules collect deoxygenated blood from the capillaries and transport the blood to the larger veins.
