This comprehensive guide details the anatomy and flow of major veins, highlighting key vessels in the head, neck, brain, and lower limbs. It covers the superior vena cava, brachiocephalic veins, and their tributaries like the internal and external jugular veins. The structure of veins in the upper limbs is also discussed, including the axillary, basilic, and median cubital veins. The guide further explores the venous drainage of the abdomen and lower limbs, detailing major veins such as the femoral, popliteal, and great saphenous veins, emphasizing their connections and functions.
E N D
Brachiocephalic v. (R/L) Left and right brachiocephalic veins flow into the superior vena cava
Vertebral v. (R/L) Vertebral v. drains directly into brachiocephalic v.
Internal jugular v. (R/L) Internal jugulars drain into the brachiocephalic veins
External jugular v. (R/L) External jugulars flow directly into the brachiocephalic veins
Subclavian v. (R/L) Subclavians unite with internal jugulars and drain into brachiocephalic veins
Cephalic v. (R/L) Begins at the venous arch and flows up the arm to drain into the subclavian vein
Axillary v. (R/L) Axillary vein drains into subclavian vein at the first rib
Basilic v. (R/L) Basilic vein begins at the venous arch, joins the brachial vein and drains into axillary vein
Median cubital v. (R/L) Median cubital vein flows into the basilic vein
Brachial v. (R/L) Brachial vein joins the basilic and drains into the axillary
Radial v. and Ulnar v. (R/L) Radial Ulnar Radial and Ulnar veins join at the bend of the elbow and flow into the brachial vein
Internal iliac v. (R/L) Internal iliac joins the external iliac and drains into the common iliac
Femoral v. (R/L) Femoral vein drains into external iliac (cut)
Great Saphenous v. (R/L) Longest vein in the body!
Popliteal v. (R/L) Popliteal vein is located behind the knee and drains into the femoral vein
Anterior tibial v. (R/L) Deep vein that drains into the popliteal and then the femoral. Extends between the tibia and fibula
Posterior tibial v. (R/L) Deep vein that unites with the anterior tibial vein and flows into the popliteal
