What's the difference between venula and venule?

Venula


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (14) In an experimental study on rats and sheep we demonstrated by means of light reflexion rheography and laser doppler fluxmetry that manual lymphatic drainage therapy causes vessel narrowing followed by increased blood flow in the arterioles, capillaries and venulae of the skin as well as in peripheral arteries and an increased lymph flow in lymphatic collectors.

Venule


Definition:

  • (n.) A small vein; a veinlet; specifically (Zool.), one of the small branches of the veins of the wings in insects.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Electronmicroscopical investigations have revealed that, under normal conditions, a minor vesicular transfer of intravenously injected peroxidase occurs across the endothelium in segments of arterioles, capillaries and venules, especially in arterioles with a diameter about 15-30 mu.
  • (2) Normally, the small longitudinal (arterioles to venules) gradient of microvascular and perimicrovascular pressures is not a major concern, but in nonuniform disease processes, such as microembolism, longitudinal inhomogeneity, and parallel inhomogeneity are dominant.
  • (3) Neither the first- (A1) or second-order arterioles (A2) nor the first- (V1) or second-order venules (V2) constricted significantly to angiotensin II.
  • (4) The criteria selected by a classification tree method were similar: palpable purpura, age less than or equal to 20 years at disease onset, biopsy showing granulocytes around arterioles or venules, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • (5) The ciliary process vasculature consists of three different vascular territories with discrete arterioles and venules.
  • (6) The post-capillary-venules (PVC) are very permeable to both HRP and RR.
  • (7) In hypertension, all the components are affected in the microcirculatory bed of serous membranes: arterioles, precapillaries, capillaries, postcapillaries, venules, lymph capillaries and postcapillaries.
  • (8) Ballooning of venules is a frequent finding, possibly accounting for breakthrough bleeding.
  • (9) The difference between pressure in these venules and large vein pressure fell in proportion to the reduction in blood pressure and blood flow.
  • (10) The well developed long loops received their proper afferent arterioles from the arterial terminals in the primary plexus, and emitted their proper efferent venules continuous with the long portal vessels.
  • (11) The initial step in this process is the binding of lymphocytes to high endothelial venules (HEV), and in the case of trafficking of cells to the PLN, it is required that they bear the L-selectin surface receptor.
  • (12) IgG immunoglobulin was demonstrated in the wall of the post-capillary venules of human para-aortal lymph nodes by using a direct immunoperoxidase technique.
  • (13) Capillaries and small arterioles or venules, ranging from 8-50 microns in diameter, showed perikarya and dendrites abutting the basement membrane without evidence of glial interposition.
  • (14) During this stage, there was little ultrastructural distinction between CAM arterioles, capillaries, and venules.
  • (15) The occlusion of the veins and venules by the thin-walled vessels, and the reactive intimal fibrosis they provoke, leads to pulmonary capillary dilatation, collections of intra-alveolar siderophages, fibrosis of alveolar walls and osseous nodules.
  • (16) Into certain venules there appeared to be little or no renin secretion, into others a marked renin secretion, suggesting a heterogeneity of renin secretion by the different nephrons.
