Venules and veins within skeletal muscle are a site of postcapillary resistance that can be actively changed by circulating catecholamines and local vasodilator metabolites and may vary inversely with blood flow, via an effect on blood viscosity. Together these factors modulate capillary hydrostatic pressure and thereby capillary filtration.
