Great Saphenous Vein

picture info	Great Saphenous Vein The great saphenous vein (GSV; ) or long saphenous vein is a large, subcutaneous, superficial vein of the human leg, leg. It is the longest vein in the body, running along the length of the lower limb, returning blood from the foot, human leg, leg, and thigh to the deep femoral vein at the femoral triangle. Structure The great saphenous vein originates from where the dorsal vein of the Toe#Hallux, big toe (the hallux) merges with the dorsal venous arch of the foot. After passing in front of the medial malleolus (where it often can be visualized and Palpation, palpated), it runs up the medial (anatomy), medial side of the leg. At the knee, it runs over the posterior border of the medial epicondyle of the femur bone. In the proximal anterior thigh inferolateral to the pubic tubercle, the great saphenous vein dives down deep through the cribriform fascia of the saphenous opening to join the femoral vein. It forms an arch, the saphenous arch, to join the common femoral vein in the re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Dorsal Venous Arch The dorsal venous arch of the foot is a Superficial anatomy, superficial vein that connects the small saphenous vein and the great saphenous vein. Anatomically, it is defined by where the dorsal veins of the first and fifth toe, digit, respectively, meet the great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein. It is usually fairly easy to palpation, palpate and visualize (if the patient is barefoot). It lies superior to the metatarsal bones approximately midway between the ankle joint and metatarsal, metatarsal phalangeal joints. Additional images File:Slide3Bubu.JPG, Dorsum of foot. Ankle joint.

	Medial Epicondyle Of The Femur The medial epicondyle of the femur is an epicondyle, a bony protrusion, located on the medial side of the femur at its distal end. Located above the medial condyle, it bears an elevation, the adductor tubercle,Platzer (2004), p 192 which serves for the attachment of the superficial part, or "tendinous insertion", of the adductor magnus.''Thieme Atlas of Anatomy'' (2006), p 426 This tendinous part here forms an intermuscular septum which forms the medial separation between the thigh's flexors and extensors.tibial collateral ligament of the knee-joint In humans and other primates, the knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur ...

	Anterior Tibial Vein The anterior tibial vein is a vein in the lower leg. In human anatomy, there are two anterior tibial veins. They originate and receive blood from the dorsal venous arch, on the back of the foot and empties into the popliteal vein. The anterior tibial veins drain the ankle joint, knee joint, tibiofibular joint, and the anterior portion of the lower leg. The two anterior tibial veins ascend in the interosseous membrane between the tibia and fibula and unite with the posterior tibial veins to form the popliteal vein. Like most deep veins in legs, anterior tibial veins are accompanied by the homonym artery An artery () is a blood vessel in humans and most other animals that takes oxygenated blood away from the heart in the systemic circulation to one or more parts of the body. Exceptions that carry deoxygenated blood are the pulmonary arteries in ..., the anterior tibial artery, along its course. References Veins of the lower limb {{Circulatory-stub ...

picture info	Perforator Vein Perforator veins are so called because they perforate the deep fascia of muscles, to connect the superficial veins to the deep veins where they drain. Perforator veins play an essential role in maintaining normal blood draining. They have venous valves, valves which prevent blood flowing back (regurgitation (circulation), regurgitation) from deep to superficial veins in muscular systole (medicine), systole or contraction. Location Perforator veins exist along the length of the lower limb, in greater number in the leg (anatomical ref to below knee) than in the thigh. Some veins are named after the physician who first described them: Dodd's perforator at the inferior 1/3 of the thigh Boyd's perforator at the knee level Cockett's perforators at the inferior 2/3 of the leg (usually there are three: superior medium and inferior Cockett perforators) Others have the name of the deep vein where they drain: Medial gastrocnemius perforator, draining into the gastrocnemius vein Fib ...

	Small Saphenous Vein The small saphenous vein (also short saphenous vein or lesser saphenous vein) is a relatively large superficial vein of the posterior leg. Structure The origin of the small saphenous vein (SSV) is where the dorsal vein from the fifth digit (smallest toe) merges with the dorsal venous arch of the foot, which attaches to the great saphenous vein (GSV). It is a superficial vein, being subcutaneous (just under the skin). From its origin, it courses around the lateral aspect of the foot (inferior and posterior to the lateral malleolus) and runs along the posterior aspect of the leg (with the sural nerve), where it passes between the heads of the gastrocnemius muscle. This vein presents a number of different draining points. Usually, it drains into the popliteal vein, at or above the level of the knee joint. Variation Sometimes, the SSV joins the common gastrocnemius vein before draining in the popliteal vein. Sometimes, it does not make contact with the popliteal vein, but goes ...

	Anterior Accessory Saphenous Vein The anterior accessory saphenous vein is a special anterior tributary of the great saphenous vein (GSV), draining the antero-lateral face of the thigh. However, in recent times experts have suggested dropping the term "Accessory" and simply calling this the Anterior Saphenous Vein (ASV) This change occurred in 2024 when there was a significant announcement by a task force endorsed by the American Venous Forum, the American Vein and Lymphatic Society (AVLS) and the UIP to drop the term "accessory." They explained in a series of publications and presentations that it became evident to many specialists caring for venous patients that there was a lack of clarity regarding the terminology of the anterior accessory saphenous vein. The term “accessory” implied that the vein was a superficial tributary. However, its anatomic features, accepted treatment approaches, and clinical outcomes after treatment supported its role as a truncal vein, similar to the great saphenous vein (GS ...

	Superficial Circumflex Iliac Vein Superficial circumflex iliac vein is either of the two venae comitantes of the superficial circumflex iliac artery. It usually empties into the great saphenous vein just proximal to where it itself empties into the femoral vein, but may sometimes instead empty into the femoral vein directly. Passing in the subcutaneous tissue, the SCIV runs superficially/anteriorly across the femoral artery The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the thigh and leg. The femoral artery gives off the deep femoral artery and descends along the anteromedial part of the thigh in the femoral triangle. It enters ....
