Venules

p.s. The rate of blood flow decreases when pressure drops so why the pressure drops while the velocity increases when the blood reaches the venules and the veins ?

in the textbook, it says, "the blood pressure is even lower when it reaches the venules and the vein due to the friction of the capillary wall." However,later it says "The velocity of blood rises slowly again later since the cross sectional area of ...

... for the immense pressure when blood is pump out of from the left ventricle. As it flows from the heart-artery-arteries-arterioles-capilaries-venules-veins-vein-heart blood pressure keeps dropping as it goes further away from the heart because it loses kinetic energy with distance increase. ...

... I think they are big/medium blood vessels. The ones with thick walls are artery or arteriole, whereas the thin-walled ones must be vein or venules. Could you provide more image, please? I like analyzing this way. I don't care whether I am right or wrong but it helps me much to improve my ...
