When we sayred, blue, yellow–you might associate it with the flag of the Republic of Armenia. But if you’re an experiencedanatomystudent, you’ll know that in anatomy atlases blue usually refers to veins, red to arteries and yellow to nerves. Together, veins, arteries and nerves define...
Human anatomy helps us understand the function and importance of complex structures within our bodies. Explore how different systems look and work.

ANATOMY OF VEINS A vast network of blood vessels known as your circulatory system runs throughout your entire body. It is largely made up of blood vessels, including veins. There are numerous locations where your veins branch into venules and capillaries. The two largest veins in the body are...
a. Anatomy Any of the membranous tubes that form a branching system and carry blood to the heart from the cells, tissues, and organs of the body. b. A blood vessel of any kind; a vein or artery: felt the blood pounding in her veins. c. Something that looks like a blood vessel, ...
Theveins of the lower legcan be divided into two groups –superficialanddeep. Since the distal parts of the lower limb, i.e. the leg and feet, are the furthest points from the heart compared to any other part of the body, blood has a longer distance to travel bac to the heart. ...
Cerebral veins are very thin because of absence of muscular layer and do not have valves unlike other part of body. They are investigated in three systems, which are superficial and deep venous systems, and veins of posterior fossa. All cortical and deep veins drain into the internal jugular ...
(anatomy) A relatively thin-walled blood vessel that carries blood from capillaries to the heart in vertebrates. (botany) One of the vascular bundles in a leaf. (geology) A mineral deposit in tabular or shell-like form filling a fracture in a host rock. (invertebrate zoology) One of...
