Veins

Blue stomach is a urban legend phrase. It is said one will get a blue stomach if their dinner date flakes on you and leaves you so hungry that it hurts.

Spider veins, also known as varicose veins can be unsightly and embarrassing. They are small blood vessels that appear red or bluish in color and are often in a web or matted pattern. They are typically painless; however they can be accompanied by a slight burning sensation due to long periods of standing and pressure. Some of the causes of spider veins are genetics, pressure on the feet and legs, sun exposure, and injury. There are treatments that can assist in removing spider veins.

Spider Vein Laser Removal

As with any medical procedure there are pros and cons. The most common treatment for spider veins is laser removal. The doctor will give you a pair of goggles to wear to protect your eyes. Laser removal is not always a pain free process. Although there are no needles, the procedure is known to sting some and there is a vague smell of burning. Doctors can give you a local anesthesia to ease or dull the pain. Laser removal is a light that breaks down the veins. This is a procedure that has to be repeated in order to achieve the desired results. After the area is tagged with the laser, it will become red, itchy and irritated. Typically a bandage and ointment is applied prior to leaving the doctor’s office. There can be some discoloration from the lasers; however there is a discoloration cream your doctor can give you to aid in lightening the area. Most spider vein laser treatments are done In a short period of time. Typically only taking an hour or so. Most patients have theirs done during their lunch breaks. The amount of treatments needed is going to be determined by your doctor. Some spider veins, depending on the severity of them could take more than several treatments and visits to the doctor. They can also be quite costly. Some sessions can cost anywhere from $350 to $500 per session.

These are called Haemorrhoids or they are often referred to as 'piles'

Vena cava

The spleen produces lymphocytes. As blood flows through the spleen, lymphocytes attack or mark pathogens in the blood. If pathogens cause an infection, the spleen may also release lymphocytes into the bloodstream.

The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.

Spider veins: A group of widened veins that can be seen through the surface of the skin. Their wheel-and- spoke shape resembles a spider. Also known as spider telangiectasia.

Varicose vein: A dilated (widened) tortuous (twisting) vein, usually involving a superficial vein in the leg, often associated with incompetency of the valves in the vein. These visible and bulging veins are often associated with symptoms such as tired, heavy, or aching limbs

No, arteries have thicker walls because blood pumps through the arteries around the body, therefore blood pumps through arteries which a high pressure so thick walls are needed. Blood goes through veins with a lower pressure as they lead back to the heart to be oxygenated.

It cant be visible because it is hidden behind your throat.

the largest vein of two veins

The Largest Vein in the Heart is the Coronary Sinus, which runs in the atrioventricular groove around the posterior and lateral aspect of the Right Atrium.

The Second largest vein in the heart is the Great Vein which lies anteriorly and runs with the Left Anterior Descending or Anterior Interventricular Artery, commonly referred to as the LAD or widow maker.

If you work out then that will cause your heart to pump faster witch will cause your veins to expand from all the rushing blood and then your veins will almost pop out of your legs but this will not hurt or harm you. Also if you stress your leg then that can also make your vein pop out of your leg. But my advice is not to be taken literal.

According to tradition in some countries (derived from Roman belief), the wedding ring is worn on the left ring finger because the vein in the left ring finger, referred to as the vena amoris was believed to be directly connected to the heart, a symbol of love.

It is part of the heart, aka the widow-maker since blockage or failure often results in death.

The valves stop the blood flowing backwards through the circulatory system.

To place an intravenous cannula (IVC) the preferred veins are in the patient's arm. As a general rule, the patient's non-dominant extremity should be used. That is, if a patient is right handed, the left arm should be used for IV access. In general, any distended vein may be used as long as all clinical and medical procedures and precautions are followed during the procedure.

Veins contain valves which allow blood to flow only in the desired direction (toward the heart). Any muscular exertion in the body, any movement of arms and legs, etc., will incidentally put some pressure on the veins, forcing the blood to move in the direction which the valves allow.

Yes

The right atrium.

Blood flow goes:

vena cava > right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle > pulmonary artery > pulmonary vein > left atria > mitral valve > left ventricle > systemic circulation

There are a number of factors that speed up the rate of blood flow. Some of them include exercises, strenuous activities, panic and so much more.
