fill in the blanks Locate the veins draining the kidneys, the right and left A.___________________ veins. Two major veins carry blood from each leg into the inferior vena cava. Identify these veins: the right and left A ___________________________veins. Each common iliac in turn receives blood from an B.__________________________ vein (draining the reproductive, urinary and digestive organs of the deep pelvis), and an C.______________________________ vein (draining the lower limb). Slide 20: As in the arm, there are both deep and superficial veins that drain blood from the leg. Inferior to and draining into the external iliac is a major vein from the leg. Identify this vein.

When making the incision into the left atrium to remove the myxoma, which of the following regions of the interatrial septum should be avoided in order to prevent injury to the cardiac conduction system? A) Crista terminalis B) Fossa ovalis region C) Posteroinferior region above the opening of the coronary sinus D) Superoanterior region above the limbus of the fossa ovalis E) Superoposterior region posterior to the fossa ovalis
