These findings suggest that small occlusions in the venule system may play a role in cognitive dysfunction.

They are using a powerful laser and nonlinear optics to target and clot vessels of the venule system and then monitor the effect on blood flow in upstream capillaries in the brain.

Secondly, capillary beds also consist of a vascular shunt which is a short vessel that directly connects the arteriole and venule at opposite ends of the bed.

Pockets of dead tissue, perhaps caused by venule occlusions, are often seen in autopsies of people who had dementia late in life, says Nguyen, and now researchers have a way to study this phenomenon.

A minute vein continuous with a capillary
A venule is a very small blood vessel in the microcirculation that allows blood to return from the capillary beds to drain into the larger blood vessels, the veins. Venules range from 7 to 50u03BCm in diameter. Veins contain approximately 70% of total blood volume, 25% of which is contained in the venules. Many venules unite to form a vein.
A small vein, especially one that connects capillaries to a larger vein
(Venules) Small veins, the blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart and lungs.
(Venules) smaller branches of veins.
(venules) Vessels into which capillaries converge and that empty into veins.
A vesse1 that conveys blood between a capillary bed and a vein.
