The superficial veins of the legs connect to the deep veins through "penetrating veins" which run perpendicular to the skin from one to the other.
The deep veins are essentially a column of blood running from your head to you feet and so when one is standing are under high pressure. In order to keep this pressure away from the frail superficial veins the penetrating veins have valves. When one of these valves goes bad the high pressure is allowed to go back to the superficial veins which blow up like balloons and become visible as what we call varicose veins (or "spider veins").
The great saphenous vein is the longest vein in the body. It is a superficial vein located in the leg.
it is located in your brain :p hahahhahahaha
The most important veins in the lower leg are the two saphenous veins--the greater saphenous vein, which runs from the foot to the groin area, and the short saphenous vein, which runs from the ankle to the knee.
No it is a Superficial vein
The great saphenous vein is a superficial vein that runs up the inside of the leg. It's the longest vein in the body.
Superficial
The great saphenous vein is the superficial vein on the medial side of the tibia. It is the longest vein in the body.
The ulnar vein is a deep vein.
The main vessels that drain blood from the lower leg are the popliteal vein, which originates behind the knee, and the tibial veins, which run alongside the tibia bone in the lower leg. These veins eventually merge into larger vessels and return blood to the heart.
The Brachial Vein is a deep vein in the arm.
Leg muscles are deep to the skin of your leg. The skin is superficial to the muscles.
The Superficial Vein is not an antecubital vein.
