Word origin
The word 'venule' originated from the Latin word 'venula', which means small vein. It was first used in the early 19th century in the field of medicine to describe the small veins that collect blood from the capillaries. The concept of venules was first introduced by the anatomist Marcello Malpighi in the 17th century, who observed the connection between capillaries and veins in the circulatory system.
