There is no such thing as an arterial vein. You either have an artery, or a vein. Arteries move blood away from the heart, and veins move blood to the heart. Also, arteries carry blood that contains oxygen to the various parts of the body, whereas veins carry blood that needs oxygen to the heart and lungs.
To find an arterial vein, locate a pulse point on the body where arteries are located close to the skin surface, such as the wrist (radial artery) or neck (carotid artery). Arterial veins are not a common anatomical feature; rather, veins carry blood back to the heart and typically run alongside arteries. If you are looking for a specific artery or vein for medical reasons, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
