bronchial venule
A venule that is tributary of the bronchial veins and drains blood from the bronchi and bronchioles of the lungs. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the bronchial venule is
A venule that is tributary of the bronchial veins and drains blood from the bronchi and bronchioles of the lungs. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the bronchial venule is
It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What the bronchial venule connects to
The atlas records 10 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of lung, respiratory system and thoracic segment of trunk, and 3 more.
Supply and innervation
Venous drainage: bronchial vein.

Questions
Where is the bronchial venule?
It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What does the bronchial venule connect to?
Part of: lung, respiratory system, thoracic segment of trunk, trunk, vascular system and vasculature.
Is the bronchial venule the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
