4. Anterior tibial veinAnterior tibial vein
In In human anatomyhuman anatomy, ,
the the anterior tibial veinanterior tibial vein of of
the the lower limblower limb carries blood carries blood
from thefrom theanterioranterior
compartment of the leg compartment of the leg to to
the the poplitealpopliteal vein vein which is which is
formed when it joins with formed when it joins with
the the posterior posterior tibialtibial vein vein..
Like most Like most deep veinsdeep veins, the , the
anterior tibial vein is anterior tibial vein is
accompanied by an accompanied by an arteryartery
of the same name, the of the same name, the
anterior anterior tibialtibial artery artery, along , along
its course.its course.

5. Posterior Tibial veinPosterior Tibial vein
In In anatomyanatomy, the , the posterior posterior
tibial veintibial vein of the of the
lower limblower limb carries blood carries blood
from the from the
posterior compartmentposterior compartment
and and plantarplantar surface of surface of
the the footfoot to the to the poplitealpopliteal
vein vein which it forms when which it forms when
it joins with the it joins with the anterior anterior
tibialtibial vein vein..
Like most Like most deep veinsdeep veins, the , the
posterior tibial vein is posterior tibial vein is
accompanied by an accompanied by an arteryartery
of the same name, the of the same name, the
posterior posterior tibialtibial artery artery, ,
along its course.along its course.

6. Peroneal VeinPeroneal Vein
In In anatomyanatomy, the , the fibular fibular
veinsveins (also known as (also known as
the the peroneal veinsperoneal veins) are ) are
accompanying veins of the accompanying veins of the
fibular arteryfibular artery. .
The fibular veins are The fibular veins are
deep veinsdeep veins that help carry that help carry
blood from the blood from the
lateral compartment of the leglateral compartment of the leg. .
They drain into the They drain into the posterior posterior
tibialtibial veins veins, which will in turn , which will in turn
drain into the drain into the poplitealpopliteal vein vein. .
The fibular veins accompany The fibular veins accompany
the the fibular arteryfibular artery. .

7. Popliteal veinPopliteal vein
The The popliteal veinpopliteal vein is located is located
behind the knee. Its course runs behind the knee. Its course runs
alongside the alongside the poplitealpopliteal artery artery, but , but
carries the blood from the knee carries the blood from the knee
joint and muscles in the thigh and joint and muscles in the thigh and
calf back to the heart.calf back to the heart.
Its origin is defined by the Its origin is defined by the
junction of the junction of the posterior posterior tibialtibial vein vein
and and anterior anterior tibialtibial vein vein..
It drains the It drains the peronealperoneal vein vein before before
reaching the reaching the kneeknee joint and turns joint and turns
into the into the femoral femoral veinveinwhen leaving when leaving
the the adductor canaladductor canal (also known (also known
as as Hunter's canalHunter's canal).).
The popliteal artery extends from The popliteal artery extends from
the the femoral arteryfemoral artery behind the behind the
poplitealpopliteal fossafossa which is the space which is the space
behind the behind the kneeknee..

8. Profunda femoris veinProfunda femoris vein
Profunda femoris Profunda femoris
veinvein (or (or deep femoral deep femoral
veinvein) is a large ) is a large deep veindeep vein
in the in the thighthigh. It receives . It receives
blood from the inner thigh blood from the inner thigh
and proceeds superiorly and proceeds superiorly
and medially running and medially running
alongside the alongside the profundaprofunda
femorisfemoris artery artery to join with to join with
the the femoral veinfemoral vein
approximately at the level approximately at the level
of the inferior-most portion of the inferior-most portion
of the of the ischialischial tuberositytuberosity. .

9. Femoral VeinFemoral Vein
In the In the human bodyhuman body, the femoral , the femoral
vein is a blood vessel that vein is a blood vessel that
accompanies the accompanies the femoralfemoral arteryartery
in the in the femoral sheathfemoral sheath. It begins . It begins
at the at the adductor canaladductor canal (also (also
known as known as Hunter's canalHunter's canal) and is a ) and is a
continuation of the continuation of the poplitealpopliteal vein vein. .
It ends at the inferior margin of It ends at the inferior margin of
thetheinguinalinguinal ligament ligament, where it , where it
becomes the becomes the external iliac veinexternal iliac vein..
DrainageDrainage
Several large Several large veinsveins drain into the drain into the
femoral vein:femoral vein:
poplitealpopliteal vein vein
profundaprofunda femorisfemoris vein vein
great great saphenoussaphenous vein vein

10. Great Saphenous Vein “GSV”Great Saphenous Vein “GSV”
The GSV originates from where The GSV originates from where
the dorsal vein of the the dorsal vein of the first digitfirst digit
(the large toe) merges with the (the large toe) merges with the
dorsal venous arch of the footdorsal venous arch of the foot..
After passing anterior to the After passing anterior to the
medial medial malleolusmalleolus (where it often (where it often
can be visualized andcan be visualized andpalpatedpalpated), it ), it
runs up the runs up the medialmedial side of the leg. side of the leg.
At the knee, it runs over the At the knee, it runs over the
posterior border of the posterior border of the medial medial
epicondyleepicondyle of the of the femurfemur bone. bone.
The great saphenous vein then The great saphenous vein then
courses laterally to lie on the courses laterally to lie on the
anterior surface of the thigh anterior surface of the thigh
before entering an opening in the before entering an opening in the
fascia fascia latalata called the called the saphenoussaphenous
opening opening..
It joins with the It joins with the femoral veinfemoral vein in in
the region of the the region of the femoral trianglefemoral triangle
at the saphenofemoral junction. at the saphenofemoral junction.

11. Small Saphenous Vein Small Saphenous Vein
The The small saphenous small saphenous
veinvein (also (also short saphenous veinshort saphenous vein), is ), is
a relatively large a relatively large veinvein of the superficial of the superficial
posterior posterior legleg. .
Its origin is where the dorsal vein from Its origin is where the dorsal vein from
the the fifth digitfifth digit (smallest toe) merges (smallest toe) merges
with the with the dorsal venous arch of the footdorsal venous arch of the foot
, which attaches to the , which attaches to the great great
saphenoussaphenous vein vein. It is a considered a. It is a considered a
superficialsuperficial vein vein and is and is subcutaneoussubcutaneous
(just under the skin). (just under the skin).
From its origin, it courses around the From its origin, it courses around the
lateral aspect of the foot (inferior and lateral aspect of the foot (inferior and
posterior to theposterior to thelaterallateral malleolusmalleolus) and ) and
runs along the posterior aspect of the runs along the posterior aspect of the
leg (with the leg (with the suralsural nerve nerve), passes ), passes
between the heads of the between the heads of the
gastrocnemiusgastrocnemius muscle muscle, and drains into , and drains into
the the poplitealpopliteal vein vein, approximately at or , approximately at or
above the level of the above the level of the kneeknee joint. joint.

12. Communicating veinCommunicating vein
Communicating veinsCommunicating veins (or (or perforator perforator
veinsveins ) are ) are veinsveins that directly connect that directly connect
superficial veinssuperficial veins to to deep veinsdeep veins..
Communicating veins have valves that Communicating veins have valves that
only allow blood to flow from superficial to only allow blood to flow from superficial to
deep veinsdeep veins
