Explanation:
F. J.A. Mostert, Medisch Woordenboek: 'capacitance venule' = 'capaciteitsvene'.

'Capacitance vessels are large venules and small to medium veins. They have the capacity to expand to accommodate more blood (in the case of volume overload, for example) or contract to hold less blood.'

'Venen. Het veneuze systeem bevat normaal in rust ongeveer 60% van het bloedvolume (men spreekt van ‘capaciteitsvaten’).'
