  • However, we will attempt to discuss the major pathways for blood and acquaint you with the major named arteries and veins in the body. (cuny.edu)
Splenic vein3
  • A short thick vein formed by union of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein. (lookformedical.com)
  • Splenic vein thrombosis is a rare condition which causes esophageal varices without a raised portal pressure. (en-academic.com)
  • Splenectomy can cure the variceal bleeding due to splenic vein thrombosis. (en-academic.com)
Hepatic veins2
  • The next major veins encountered are the renal veins, followed by the hepatic veins. (medscape.com)
  • Ultrasound showed bilateral pleural effusions, ascites, and no flow within the hepatic veins but a patent IVC. (medscape.com)
Saphenous vein2
  • Skin overlying the region where a venous cutdown is made to access the great saphenous vein is supplied by femoral nerve. (medicosplexus.com)
  • 59. The saphenous vein. (edu.pl)
Drain3
  • The superior intercostal veins are two veins that drain the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th intercostal spaces, one vein for each side of the body. (wikipedia.org)
  • Numerous paired segmental lumbar veins drain into the IVC throughout its length. (medscape.com)
  • Diagram of hepatic venous drainage depicts the small veins that drain from the caudate lobe and adjacent part of the right lobe directly into the inferior vena cava. (medscape.com)
Lumbar veins1
  • Posteriorly, it is separated from the lumbar vertebræ and intervertebral fibrocartilages by the anterior longitudinal ligament and left lumbar veins. (theodora.com)
Thorax1
Artery2
  • Compression of the left common ILIAC VEIN by the right common ILIAC ARTERY against the underlying fifth LUMBAR VERTEBRA is the typical underlying malformation. (lookformedical.com)
  • Like a street that changes name as it passes through an intersection, an artery or vein can change names as it passes an anatomical landmark. (cuny.edu)
Lobe1
  • The veins tend to be spared in hepatic venous occlusion in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome, giving rise to hypertrophy of the caudate lobe and adjacent part of the right lobe. (medscape.com)
Empties1
  • The right gonadal vein empties directly into the cava, whereas the left gonadal vein generally empties into the left renal vein. (medscape.com)
Azygous2
  • Azygous vein also appears prominent. (myesr.org)
  • The azygous system has connections with the IVC or the renal veins at the level of the renal veins. (medscape.com)

  • Thalamostriate veins are formed by the joining of anterior caudate vein and the vein of stria terminalis. (radiopaedia.org)
Superior1
  • 64. The superior and inferior caval veins. (edu.pl)
Cava1
  • A vein on either side of the body which is formed by the union of the external and internal iliac veins and passes upward to join with its fellow of the opposite side to form the inferior vena cava. (lookformedical.com)

Flows2
  • It flows into the azygos vein. (wikipedia.org)
  • Obstruction of large- or small-caliber veins leads to hepatic congestion as blood flows into, but not out of, the liver. (medscape.com)
Continuation1
  • it is a continuation of the popliteal vein and becomes the external iliac vein. (lookformedical.com)
Left3
  • The IVC is formed by the confluence of the left and right common iliac veins. (medscape.com)

Common1
  • Anastomoses are especially common in veins, where they help maintain blood flow even when one vessel is blocked or narrowed, although there are some important ones in the arteries supplying the brain. (cuny.edu)
Side of the body1
