Veins

Some foods that known to improve blood circulation are salmon, goji berries, oranges, avocados, and lemons. Other foods on the list are dark chocolate, garlic, ginger, and watermelon.

== == The eye has been irritated by something. Redness is a sign of a unhappy eye, one that has been exposed to too much of something, such as dust, wind, lack of sleep, or too much alcohol drinking. Other causes could be exposure to welding flash, chemical fumes, or even harsh shampoo or soap. Treatment is simple.........warm water bath of the eye, with repeated applications of warm water. Cover the eye, and rest in a dark place, with BOTH eyes closed for an hour at least. Conjunctivitis is the technical term for red eyes. It can also be the result of allerfies, a virus like a cold, or caused by a bacteria like "Red Eye," an irritation or injury, or a serious infection. If you wear contacts remove them until the condition is entirely cleared up. If you normally wear eye makeup, discontinue and discard it. I would use eye drops rather than plain water. Often children bring bacterial "Red Eye" home from school with them. It is spread by hand contact, and can effect all members of the family. Red eye is characterized by redness and a discharge from the eye. Your family doctor can treat Red Eye with mild antibiotic drops. If the condition persists more than 1 day, or you have pain, or the eye tears excessively or is sensitive to light, or the redness is growing worse, I would see an optometrist ASAP. Don't trust your family doctor to treat eye conditions. I did, and almost lost an eye because he mis-diagnosed a serious eye infection as "just irritation from your contacts."

Every phlebotomist hopes to see large, prominent veins that are easily visible just below the surface of the skin. Veins with an elastic (sometimes described as a 'bouncy') quality usually indicate large, healthy veins that are less likely to collapse.

The medial cubital or cephalic veins are the most common veins used in venipuncture. Veins which are fibrosed, fragile or inflamed should be avoided.

The femoral vein is the main vein in a human leg.

The great saphenous vein is the superficial vein on the medial side of the tibia. It is the longest vein in the body.

the total blood flow is controlled by the number of capillaries that are open at any given moment, so outside the tightening and loosening of those muscles ... very little.

The veins become slightly distended and the arteries empty a bit quicker.

At rest about 20% of the capillaries are open at any given time.

Cephalic

The blood in veins appear green on the skin because the skin serves as a filter for the color red which perceives the color as green. Under normal light, blood appears as a red color.

The ones who transfer oxygen lacking blood from all parts of the body back to the right atrium of the heart, and transfer oxygen rich blood to the left atrium of the heart from the lungs. Unlike the arteries the veins have flaps preventing the blood from going the wrong way. They're also weaker in structure than the veins.

thermal regulation, heat from the arteries is not lost, and can be transferred to blood in the veins, thus making it easier for the body to maintain heat.

The pulsating effect from the arteries muscular wall also acts as a pump to push blood in the veins back up the body often against gravity.

This is the entire hepato-duodenal ligament. Temporary occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein can be done quickly by placing a vascular clamp around the hepatic pedicle.

Varicose veins can develop in the deep veins also. Varicose veins in the superficial veins are called primary varicosities, while varicose veins in the deep veins are called secondary varicosities.

Most veins have low-pressure circulation in them, which is why they have a series of backcheck valves to allow blood to flow in only one direction back towards the heart. It should be noted that commonly taken blood pressure readings are actually measuring arterial blood flow only (120/80), since venous pressure becomes very low closer towards the heart.

The inferior vena cava

The length of veins in the human body can range from 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on which anatomy textbook you're referencing (this also depends, of course, on the age of the body).

Right atrium

Phlebostenosis

Whereas facial spider and reticular veins are easily removed by topical lasers, large and bulging leg varicose veins can only be removed by endovenous laser techniques, such as Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT). The procedure involves inserting a laser fiber inside a vein, guiding it in the vein with the help of Ultrasound Imaging, and then applying laser pulses. It is usually performed in a doctor's office using local anesthesia only.

Your feet is the most dependent part of your body; i.e. gravity tends to pull down the blood, and tend to pool in your feet. If you were to raise your feet above your heart level the veins would start to collapse.

it has many more capillaries...if you were to wrap all of your capillaries around earth it would wrap around twice

The only jugular i know of is the jugular groove, this is found on a horse. The jugular groove is just a bit further up from the breast and a bit further down from the horses windpipe.

It is a vein. It is one of the main ones and carries oxygen to the brain and head. If it is cut, you can bleed to death in a couple of minutes.

It is sometimes used in the phrase, "Go for the jugular!" It means go in for the kill, show no mercy.
