Question
Chapter 20.11, Problem 42WDYL
Summary Introduction
To compare:
The great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein in term of their anatomic position and length.
Concept introduction:
Veins are thin walled blood vessels that bring blood into the heart from the whole body. The blood that they carry is deoxygenated blood which goes to the heart for purification. The two main types of the veins are: superior vena cava and inferior vena cava.
