venule in dogs

One of the minute vessels that collect deoxygenated blood from the capillary plexuses returns it to the veins. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the venule is

One of the minute vessels that collect deoxygenated blood from the capillary plexuses returns it to the veins. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the venule is

It sits within the cardiovascular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the venule connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of circulatory system and vasculature.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the venule. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Is the venule the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
