its may be due to right heart failure,which causes edema of the extermities and it may be due to emboli in your right arm vein which got swollen and causing pain,it may be due to hypertension which cause vericose vein,you should have ECG for heart and APPT and D-DIMER test for emboli.so go to hospital and see doctor

To transport de-oxygenated blood to the lungs.

No.

The circulatory system consists of the veins and arteries. They are the way food and oxygen are transported around the body. They take food and oxygen to muscles and organs

The aorta is the largest artery in the body. An artery transports blood away from the heart, whereas a vein transports blood toward the heart. The aorta begins at the left ventricle of the heart, and nearly all the blood pumped by the heart passes through it. The aorta is about as thick as a garden hose. The aorta loops over the heart before moving downward through the trunk of the body, in a "candy cane" shape. Many other arteries branch off from the aorta to supply blood to all the parts of the body.

Capillaries are the smallest of the blood vessels. Their thin walls and small size facilitate gas exchange with the body tissues.

The hepatic portal vein is created by the anastamoses between the superior mesenteric vein and spleinc vein. It is arguable that the inferior mesenteric vein joins at this same anastomoses but generally it actually joins the splenic vein which then meats the sup. mesenteric vein as stated above. The veins that drain into the portal vein (ie above the ansastmoses between the splenic and sup. mesenteric) are the cystic vein, the right gastric vein and the posterior-superior part of the pancreaticoduodenal vein.

Inferior Venacava

Im not sure but why would you want to anyway :L

Inferior vena cava takes blood to the heart from your whole body. more specificly the inferior vena cava (or IVC), is a large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of theheart.

Where taking vitamin C in any form will heal wounds faster is controversial. Would healing takes place over days and weeks so there is not likely to be any advantage to injecting it.

what is prominent portal vein with secondary prominence of the head of the pancreas

veins tend to get more prominent as we get older.....kids have a thick layer of tissue covering the veins....but as you grow the tisssue layer thins

if you are fit and well then there's nothing to worry about.

smoking does have an ageing effect on the skin...

yes, it is rich in digested nutrients. Prior to entering general circulation the liver converts the digested nutrients into what the body needs. Ex: glucose may be stored as glycogen.

Last resort depending on how bad the patient's veins are would usually be the hands, I would start high and work my way down.

Ligation and division of long saphenous vein is 37700

They prevent blood from moving down toward the feet. Apex

the right interventricular sulcus

I think it is atrioventricular sulus

Femoral vein carries blood back to the hear from the legs.

Contrary to popular belief, the veins are not blue. The color of most blood is a transparent yellow which is due to the majority of blood being comprised of blood plasma (If you have seen blood centrifuged, you know what I am referring to). The hematocrit is the only part of blood that is red: dark red if deoxygenated and bright red if oxygenated. No blood is blue (inside the body or out). Dried blood which has no gaseous oxygen in it is still red (though a brownish red at that) because the iron in the bood is still rusted from oxidation. The red blood cells have iron in them due to the hemoglobin molecule in them. It is the iron in blood which attracts oxygen that gives it its red color. The reason why only veins appear blue is because they are the most superficial to the skin and therefore seen by the eye. Arteries can not be seen because of how deep they are in the body (a protective mechanism of our bodies). The color blue/violet is the highest frequency of the visible light scale; it therefore has the most penetrating power to be seen through skin, fat, etc. Red is low frequency and is filtered out by skin and fat, which is why it cannot be seen. If you took a red diode light and put it in milk, it would appear blue in color because milk filters the red out much like our fat/skin. Try it and see!

thoracectomy (excision). The cutting into the chest, or opening of the chest, is known as a thoracotomy.

The basilic vein is on the medial side of the arm in the anatomical position. It is superficial, meaning close to the skin. This makes the basilic vein a possible site for veinipuncture. The primary purpose is to help drain the blood from the hand and forearm.
