Nothing is known of the characteristics by which a schistosomulum identifies a venule.
In the hamster cheek pouch preparation few worms in the dermis were seen to be moving, most being in contact with venules.
Arteries are very narrow and obscured by venules for most of their length.
This accumulation of parasites indicates that the venule wall presents a physical barrier to further migration.
A number of schistosomula was observed in the lumen of venules, surrounded by erythrocytes.
E-selectin is weakly expressed on some arterioles and venules.
The large number of microcirculation networks connecting each arteriole to a venule also makes the method of discretely modelling individual vessel segments for each microcirculation network computationally prohibitive.
This is seen at right-angle crossing points, where the venule crosses the arteriole in a horseshoe shape.
