Veins are generally more superficial than arteries because they are closer to the surface of the skin, making them easier to access for medical procedures like drawing blood or inserting IVs. This accessibility is important for healthcare providers to quickly and safely administer treatments and monitor a patient's condition.

It is used to differentiate veins that are close to the surface from veins that are far from the surface, known as deep veins. Superficial veins are important physiologically for cooling of the body.
