 VENULES
As the venules are compressed against the tunica albuginea, penile pressure approaches arterial pressure, causing rigidity.
The tunica albuginea must have sufficient stiffness to compress the venules penetrating it so that venous outflow is blocked and sufficient tumescence and rigidity can occur.
Adult worms in humans reside in the mesenteric venules in various locations, which at times seem to be specific for each species.

 Spotting the connection
Harris says that the next step in the research program will be to develop the physical and mathematical theory that can accurately describe the relationship between the arteriole/venule pairing and capillary permeability in order to allow a much more complete characterization of the inflammatory response in a variety of situations.
Norman Harris, assistant professor of bioengineering and director of the project, says, "Our finding is that communication between pairs of venules and arterioles facilitates signaling to capillaries to release the fluid which causes swelling into the tissues.
Subsequent experiments, in which the micropressure in the capillary was measured, showed that increased fluid release was the result of an increase in permeability.

 eMedicine - Angioedema : Article by Nedra Dodds, MD
Background: Angioedema and urticaria should be viewed as varying manifestations of the same pathologic process.
This response is mediated by vasoactive mediators, such as histamine, serotonin, and kinins (eg, bradykinins), which cause the arterioles to dilate while inducing a brief episode of vascular leakage in the venules, where the junction between the endothelial cells appears looser than in the capillaries and arterioles.
Postcapillary venule inflammation results in fluid leakage and edema in both conditions.

Venules have three layers: An inner endothelium composed of squamous epithelial cells that act as a membrane, a middle layer of muscle and elastic tissue, and an outer layer of fibrous connective tissue.
The middle layer is poorly developed so that venules have thinner walls than arterioles.
