Question
Chapter 20, Problem 10RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The two veins missing from the following sequence: The superficial venous blood from the leg enters the great saphenous vein, femoral vein, inferior vena cava, and right atrium.
Introduction:
The largest veins of the body, namely superior and inferior vena cava empty or drain directly into the right atrium. The valves present in veins prevent the backflow of blood and enables it to flow in one specific direction. Certain veins are found inside the skin, and they are regarded as superficial veins because they are vital positions for taking blood during surgeries and clinical test purposes.

Tell which two veins are missing from the following sequence: Tracing the drainage of superficial venous blood from the leg, blood enters the great saphenous vein, femoral vein, inferior vena cava, and right atrium. (a) coronary sinus and superior vena cava, (b) posterior tibial and popliteal, (c) fibular (peroneal) and popliteal, (d) external and common iliacs.
Identify which artery is missing from the following sequence, which traces the flow of arterial blood to the right hand: Blood leaves the heart and passes through the aorta, the right subclavian artery, the axillary and brachial arteries, and through either the radial or ulnar artery to a palmar arch. (a) left coronary, (b) brachiocephalic, (c) cephalic, (d) right common carotid.
(a) Explain in your own words why varicose veins are more common in the lower limbs than elsewhere in the body. (b) Give a functional reason why valves are more abundant in veins of the upper and lower limbs than in veins of the neck.
