Leg Vein Anatomy

Superficial epigastric vein drains the inferior abdominal wall and opens. It ascends up the medial side of the leg passing anteriorly to the medial malleolus at the ankle and posteriorly to the medial condyle at the knee.

Human Being Anatomy Blood Circulation Principal Veins

Superficial veins of the lateral leg and thigh form the lateral venous system.

Leg vein anatomy. The great saphenous vein is formed by the dorsal venous arch of the foot and the dorsal vein of the great toe. Seat the patient on the side of the bed to help dilate the veins for easier visualisation. Anterior tibial vein which receives blood from the dorsal venous arch.

In the context of diagnosing a deep vein thrombosis the posterior tibial and peroneal veins are the most frequently affected. The sural nerve courses along the ssv in the distal calf. Place the probe transversely at the knee crease in the popliteal fossa.

The lateral venous system is drained through multiple small tributaries into the gsv and ssv. However their junctions are not paired and their locations are variable. The plantar and the dorsal veins.

There are three main deep veins in the lower leg. There are six of such tributaries. Anterior femoral cutaneous vein a continuation of anterior veins in the distal thigh.

The deep veins of the leg accompany the arteries of the same name and are generally paired in the calf. Continue to follow the vein sequentially compressing down to the distal thigh. Posteromedial vein of the thigh accessory vein of the thigh drains the superficial aspect.

Document the normal anatomy and any pathology found including doppler images demonstrating flow. As the vein moves up the leg it receives tributaries from other small superficial veins. Posterior tibial vein and fibular vein also known as the peroneal vein which form from the medial and lateral plantar veins.

Deep veins of the foot form two divisions.
