What is vein that collects most of the venous blood from below the diaphragm is the?
superior vena cava
No. All veins are carry de-oxygenated blood. Veins carry de-oxygenated blood to the heart so that the heart in turn can pump that de-oxygenated blood to the lungs where they will become oxygenated.
Where is the blood going through the pulmonary vein going?
All veins carry blood back to the heart. Pulmonary means associated with the lungs. So the pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs back to the heart. This blood is oxygenated and enters the heart in the chamber called the left atrium.
All other veins in the body carry deoxygenated blood, and this can lead to confusion.
What vein does the blood enter the atrium from?
Depends on which atria you are asking about. Blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava and the left atrium from the pulmonary vein.
What is the name of the vein that carries blood to the heart?
The inferior and superior vena cava from the body enter the right atrium. The pulmonary vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium.

What is the function of superior vena cena?
The function of superior and inferior vena cava is to take blood to the heart. The two veins will carry blood that is low in oxygen from the body to the heart.
Why is the pulmonary vein so important?
It carries oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart where the oxygented blood is then pumped around the rest of the body.
What cause Jugular vein distension?
I know this is caused by pressure on the heart which is inhibiting the right atrium to empty into the ventricle.
But i am uncertain on the cause of the actual vessel distention. My best guess would be that the heart is struggling to pump blood out so the aorta and other major arteries dilate to increase blood flow. This on top of the air pressure accumulating in the plural space from the tension pneumo is my best guess. However i could be wrong. Hope this helped.

Can you hit a vein when piercing your lip?
Yes you can hit a vein. Listen you don't know what to look for nor do you know what you are doing. The lips and area around the eyes are loaded with fine vessels and veins. Please leave piercing to trained experienced professional body piercers.
The reasons you should not attempt to pierce your self should be obvious, but for those who think it's a "DIY" project, here's some food for thought.
Infection and contraction of MRSA, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis and Tetanus are all very serious health issues, MRSA is an antibiotic resistant bacteria that can in most cases land the unlucky individual in the hospital (and has been responsible for serious deformities and deaths). These infections has been caused by using unsterilized equipment and materials. Sterilization is not achieved by pouring alcohol over needles and jewellery, or burning these items over a fire or exposed flame. Microorganisms live in the fine fissures and cracks in needles and jewellery and only the high temperature and pressure of a steam Autoclave can render these and many other bacteria harmless.
The above reasons alone should be enough to sway anyone from thinking they can do it themselves. Professional body piercers have years of hands on training and education to enable them to make any piercing "look simple", when in fact they are considering dozens of things when they lay out a piercing and actually do it. So consider your lack of knowledge, training and skills before you attempt to do any self piercing, once you pierce it, it's damaged tissue. This makes it even more difficult for a professional piercer to leave you with a great looking piercing when the area we have to work with is damaged by self inflicted attempts.

What are the main benefits of varicose vein laser surgery?
Varicose veins can be dangerous and painful, and they also are considered aesthetically ugly.

Do arteries get smaller as they move further from the heart?
The blood pressure in the arteries will decrease as they move further away from the heart. The arteries are the vessels which regulate the blood pressure from the heart.Ê
