Question: What is the biggest vain in the body? Hywel Vaughan. answered on 25 Jun 2010: Hi wildrosa, The biggest vein in the body is the ‘inferior vena cava’ – this is the vein that returns the blood from the bottom of your body to your heart. The blood is de-oxygenated, and enters the right atrium of your heart – this is at the lower right, back side of your heart.

- The common femoral vein dives deep into the abdomen about the level of the inguinal ligament, where it becomes the external iliac vein. internal iliac (iiv) The internal iliac drains the pelvis and joins the external iliac to form the common iliac vein. The external iliac joins the internal iliac vein from the pelvis to form the common iliac. The right and left common iliac veins join at the level of the navel where they form the inferior vena cava. The IVC then courses up to the right atrium of the heart. This is the longest vein in the body.

Hepatic veins Dr Omar Bashir et al. The hepatic veins are three large veins which drain the hepatic parenchyma into the inferior vena cava (IVC), named the right hepatic vein, middle hepatic vein and left hepatic vein. The veins are important landmarks, running in between and hence defining the segments of the liver.

Great saphenous vein The great saphenous vein (GSV) , previously also called the long saphenous vein, is a large, subcutaneous, superficial vein of the leg.It is the longest vein in the body running along the length of the leg.tructure [edit]. The great saphenous vein originates from where the dorsal vein of the big toe (the Hallux) merges with the dorsal venous arch of the foot. After passing in front of the medial malleolus (where it often can be visualized and palpated), it runs up the medial side of the leg.

- Introduction Top The great veins of the neck are all derivatives from the Superior Vena Cava. There are three main veins in the neck, the external, anterior, and internal jugular veins. However, the first two are superficial veins of the neck, and as this tutorial is on deep neck, will only be briefly dealt with.

Venae cavae Venae cavae. The venae cavae (from the Latin for hollow veins, singular vena cava) are large veins (venous trunks) that return deoxygenated blood from the body into the heart. In humans they are called the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, and both empty into the right atrium.

Brachial Vein It is formed by the unification of the ulnar and radial veins at the elbow. The basilic vein joins the brachial vein and becomes the axillary vein at the inferior border of teres major. At it its terminal part the axillary vein is joined by the cephalic vein (this vein runs in the deltopectoral groove).

What is the Renal Vein? Two branches of veins, the anterior branch and the posterior branch, combine to create the singular renal vein that arises from each kidney. The anterior branch collects blood from the anterior, or front, region of the kidney and the posterior branch draws from the posterior, or back, region.

CIRCULATION In the heart, the left ventricle contracts, pushing red blood cells into the aorta, the body's largest artery. From here, blood moves through a series of increasingly smaller … arteries, until it reaches a capillary, the junction between arteries and veins.

Inferior Vena Cava Click to read more below. The inferior vena cava is the largest vein in the human body. It collects blood from veins serving the tissues inferior to the heart and returns this blood to the right atrium of the heart.he inferior vena cava forms at the superior end of the pelvic cavity when the common iliac veins unite to form a larger vein. From the pelvis, the inferior vena cava ascends through the posterior abdominal body wall just to the right of the vertebral column....

Hepatic veins The lower group veins originate from the lower parts of the right or caudate lobe. They are smaller in size than the upper group veins and vary in number from person to person. The upper group usually consists of three large veins that originate from the backside of the liver and drain the right, middle, and left lobes of the liver. The oxygen-depleted blood from these veins empty into the inferior vena cava.

- Deep veins — The deep veins of the upper extremity include the paired ulnar, radial and interosseous veins in the forearm, paired brachial veins of the upper arm, and axillary vein. The axillary vein becomes the subclavian vein at the lower border of the teres major muscle (figure 2).

Venous Drainage of the Upper Limb At the border of the teres major, the vein moves deep into the arm. Here, it combines with the brachial veins to form the axillary vein. The cephalic vein arises from the dorsal venous network of the hand. It ascends the antero-lateral aspect of the upper limb, passing anteriorly at the elbow.

Major arteries and veins in a fetal pig? So…to review… the most oxygenated blood is in the umbilical vein. It mixes (rather counterintuitively) with the very deoxygenated blood of the posterior vena cava. Thus the posterior vena cava just posterior to the heart is more oxygenated than the anterior vena cava just anterior to the heart.he resulting channel is known as the ductus venosus. Oxygenated venous blood from the liver (from the hepatic portal system as well as hepatic veins) is mixed in the ductus venosus and continues on to the caudal (posterior) vena cava.
