The common iliac veins
brachiocephalic veins
Right and left brachiocephalic veins
The distal end of the inferior vena cava is formed by the junction of the paired common iliac veins (Marieb, Elaine- A&P)
The inferior vena cave is the largest vein in the body. The vein is formed by two iliac veins and returns blood to the heart.
The renal vein (renal = Kidney in Latin).
vena cava
The heart. Specifically through the Vena Cava.
To transport de-oxygenated blood to the lungs.
After passing through the capillaries, blood flows into venules, which then merge to form veins. Veins carry the blood back to the heart, where it can be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation and then circulated throughout the body again.
is a collection of veins joined together to form a large vessel that collects blood from the myocardium of the heart. It is present in humans and other animals. It receives blood mainly from the small, middle, great and oblique cardiac veins. It also receives blood from the left marginal vein and the left posterior ventricular vein. The anterior cardiac veins drain directly into the right atrium. (Some small veins drain into any of the four chambers of the heart.) It drains into the right atrium on the posterior, inferior surface, medial to the inferior vena cava opening.
the deoxygenated blood from the kidneys is carried by venules which combine to form veins. These veins then bring the deoxygenated blood to the heart via. the anterior and superior vena cava. This blood is then poured to right atrium of heart and it is then passed to right ventricle via. tricuspid valve.
