Where do the great and middle cardiac vein drain blood?
You mean the great coronary vein and Marshall's vein? If so, then into the coronary sinus then to the right atrium through the valve of Thebesius!
What vein of the heart drains most the posterior ventricles?
Middle cardiac (and posterior vein of left ventricle) *both drain in coronary sinus*
Vein that drains dural sinuses of brain?
Eustation tubes which drain into the back of the esophagus.
The great cardiac vein and small cardiac vein drain into the what?
Empties into coronoary sinus which empties into the right atrium
The main vein draining blood from the heart tissue is the?
Great Cardiac Vein. It, along with the middle and small cardiac veins return blood to the coronary sinus which returns the blood to the right atrium. A few small anterior cardiac veins return blood directly to the right atrium.
What type of blood vessel is the coronary sinus?
is a collection of veins joined together to form a large vessel that collects blood from the myocardium of the heart. It is present in humans and other animals. It receives blood mainly from the small, middle, great and oblique cardiac veins. It also receives blood from the left marginal vein and the left posterior ventricular vein. The anterior cardiac veins drain directly into the right atrium. (Some small veins drain into any of the four chambers of the heart.) It drains into the right atrium on the posterior, inferior surface, medial to the inferior vena cava opening.
What vein receives blood from the great cardiac vein?
superior venecava
What is coronary vein?
Cardiac veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood away from the heart muscle. Included in these is the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the anterior cardiac veins and the small cardiac vein.
What causes anemia after cardiac surgery?
If you had a great blood loss during the surgery, then this could of caused the Anemia.
Function of great cardiac vein?
The great cardiac vein is one of the largest veins in the body. It is located in the heart, leading away from the coronary sinus. It's function is to lead blood that has had the oxygen removed from it away from the heart.
What veins are connected to the heart?
The veins connected to the heart include the superior and inferior vena cava, which bring deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium, and the pulmonary veins, which return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
These structures drain deoxygenated blood from the myocardium?
The coronary sinus and cardiac veins are structures that drain deoxygenated blood from the myocardium into the right atrium of the heart. This blood is then circulated to the lungs for oxygenation before returning to the heart.
