prostatic venule
A venule that is tributary of the prostatic venous plexus and drains blood from the prostate gland. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

Questions
Where is the prostatic venule?
It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. 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 prostatic venule connect to?
Part of: abdominal segment of trunk, pelvic region of trunk and trunk.
Is the prostatic 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.
