Veins
Veins are thin blood vessels that carry blood from various body parts to the heart. These have valves in them to prevent back flow of blood.

How come if air gets in you veins it can kill you?
A: Small amounts of air often get into the blood circulation accidentally during surgery and other medical procedures (for example a bubble entering an intravenous fluid line), but most of these air emboli enter the veins and are stopped at the lungs, and thus a venous air embolism that shows any symptoms is very rare.[citation needed]
For venous air embolisms, death may occur if a large bubble of gas becomes lodged in the heart, stopping blood from flowing from the right ventricle to the lungs (this is similar to vapor lock in engine fuel systems).[citation needed] However, experiments in animals show that the amount of gas necessary for this to happen is quite variable, and also depends on several other factors, such as body position.[citation needed] Very large and symptomatic amounts of venous air emboli may also occur in rapid decompression in severe diving or decompression accidents, where they may interfere with circulation in the lungs and result in a choking sensation or hypoxia.[citation needed] (borrowed from Wikipedia)
Superior vena goes to pharynx to nose
Where is the vein in your wrist that can cause death?
the vain in your wrist that can kill you middle one
What if oxygen-rich blood mixes with your oxygen-poor blood?
the quality of our blood that rich with oxygen will become low
Where does the blood go from the vena cava?
lungs to pulmonary veins to left atria to mitral valve to left ventricle to aortic valve to aorta to the rest of the body, then the blood with no oxygen switches into veins, into the inferior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs!
Its probably because you are dehydrated. Just drink water after you feel this way. It happens to many people.
and the reason you get the blood taste is because heavy breathing dries out your throat which makes your throat raw like chapped lips can bleed your throat gets dry and raw. so yes drink more water. (oh and start using yahoo answers. you get more responses.)
Other Answer
Okay. Everybody thinks it's blood, but it really isn't. I heard (from my gym teacher) that it is the metals present in your body. Your throat is dry so therefore you are able to taste the metal/blood taste. It's the metals in your body (like iron, for instance) that your taste buds pick up. Like the answer above, be sure to drink more water, don't panic and take deep breaths.
*BTW, I'm not really sure if your veins can burst open. After all, health is not really my major in school.
Why are brachiocephalic veins called innominate veins?
because at the beginning they didn't know what to name it, so they named it innominate which means nameless or without a name.
Most veins carry deoxygenated blood true or false?
It is very true that most all veins carry deoxygenated blood.
Thespian veins are small cardiac veins which allow for an alternative drainage pattern for cardiac capillaries. They open directly into the corresponding heart chambers at their locations.
Thespian veins have clinical importance in that they are the mechanism by which imaging agents are dispersed in the heart for angiograms.

Can swollen adonoids and swollen tonsils be dangerous to a child while sleeping?
In severe cases, yes, but the swelling usually happens rather gradually such that the child will awaken if/when it becomes a real problem. If he's still asleep, it may create snoring or interrupted breaths, but is not likely to be a serious problem.
On the other hand, if you're worried about it, it's best to see a doctor.
Does the Vena Cava carry oxygen?
the vena cava carries erythrocytes / hemoglobin that have oxygen attached. However, the de-oxygenation "blood" volume is not completely bereft of O2. See SvO2, CaO2 & CvO2 -- typical consumption is 25% of the oxygen carried arterially. Ex (Lungs): 20.1% ml/dl arterial vs. 15.5% ml/dl venous (Edwards LifeScience)
Do the veins carry blood to the heart?
Yes. Arteries carry fresh, oxygen infused blood throughout your body. Veins carry spent, oxygen-less blood back to the heart. Capillaries distribute blood and act as bridges between the veins and arteries.
