The azygos venous system returns blood from the posterior walls of the thorax and the abdomen and dumps directly into the superior vena cava. The origin of this system begins at the various capillaries, it is a large and very variable network of veins. the azygos vein is situated on the rightside. embryologically the azygos vein must commences from the postrior surface of the inferior venacava at the level of renal veins. this azygos vein is called lumbar azygos vein. azygos vein may also commences by the fusion of the right subcostal vein and right ascending lumbar vein. development from the azygos line of veins of the right side and right posterior cardinal vein. this forms the azygos system of veins including others like, hemiazygos vein, accessory hemiazygos vein.

Blood is returned to the heart via the veins. Some of the main veins are: Jugular veins (from head) Pulmonary veins (from lungs) Portal vein Azygos vein Superior vena cava Inferior vena cava Iliac vein Femoral vein (from legs) Popliteal vein Great saphenous vein Small saphenous
