hi this is peter from anatomy zone and
in this tutorial i'll be providing you
with an overview of the venous drainage
of the lower limb
the venous drainage of the lower limb
consists of a superficial and a deep
system
the superficial system is located in the
subcutaneous tissue whereas the deep
system is located in the deep fascia of
the lower limb
the veins of the deep system accompany
the vessels of the arterial system and
they follow a similar naming structure
so if you have a good grasp of the
arterial system you'll be familiar with
the names of the deep system of veins in
the lower limb ultimately the veins of
the superficial system drain to the deep
venous system
we'll begin this tutorial by looking at
the deep system of veins and we'll start
distally
beginning in the foot what we're looking
at here is an anterior view of the foot
and we can see both the venous system
and arterial system included on this
model
in light blue you can see this vein
which accompanies the arcuate artery and
this drains into the vein which
accompanies the dorsalis pedus artery
which you can see in green
these deep veins of the foot then drain
into the anterior tibial veins which you
can see in the purple colour
if i rotate the model so we can look at
the plantar surface of the foot
you can see that there's these veins
accompanying the deep plantar arterial
arch so this is the deep plantar venous
arch and just like the arterial system
with the medial and lateral plantar
arteries we've also got medial and
lateral plantar veins
in green we've got the lateral plantar
vein and in the light blue color we've
got the medial plantar veins
accompanying the medial plantar artery
these plantar veins then drain into the
posterior tibial vein
which you can see
runs just behind the medial malleolus
and accompanies the posterior tibial
artery
i've just brought the model up so we're
now looking at a posterior view of the
leg just inferior to the knee joint and
you can see the posterior tibial vein in
light blue colour draining into the
popliteal vein
and if i rotate the model anteriorly
you can see the anterior tibial veins
which i highlighted in the purple colour
draining
into the popliteal vein so it passes
from this anterior compartment to the
posterior compartment
and drains into the popliteal vein
also on this model you can see this vein
highlighted in the green colour
this vein accompanies the fibular artery
and is known as the fibular vein and
this vein drains the lateral compartment
of the leg
now if we follow the course of the
popliteal vein we can see that it
follows the course of the popliteal
artery and it passes through the
adductor hiatus of the adductor magnus
muscle and it passes from the posterior
compartment into the anterior
compartment of the thigh
after passing through the hiatus into
the anterior compartment it is then
known as the femoral vein
if we follow the femoral vein up
proximally
we can see that it receives this
tributary which is the deep vein of the
thigh or the profunda femoris vein
and this vein accompanies the profunda
femoris artery
you can also see some other branches
which drain into the profunda femoris
and these veins accompany the lateral
and medial femoral circumflex arteries
just like the perforating arteries of
the profunda femoris artery there are
also perforating veins which drain into
the deep vein of the thigh
if we follow the femoral vein up even
further proximally we can see that it
passes underneath the inguinal ligament
after it passes underneath this ligament
it becomes known as the external iliac
vein
the external iliac vein then joins the
internal iliac vein to become the common
iliac vein
the left and right common ionic veins
then unite to form the inferior vena
cava
so you may have heard of a dvt which
stands for deep vein thrombosis
so this is the formation of a clot in
the deep system of veins which i've just
described
and if this clot is dislodged it can
pass into the right side of the heart
through the pathways that i've just
shown you so from the deep veins of the
leg into the deep veins of the thigh and
then through the iliac system into the
inferior vena cava and then into the
right side of the heart
from the right side of the heart can
then pass into the pulmonary circulation
resulting in a pulmonary infarct
so this is known as a pulmonary embolus
now moving on to the superficial venous
system this essentially consists of two
veins
you've got the small saphenous vein and
the great saphenous vein
the great saphenous vein you can see
here highlighted in light blue and it
runs along the entire length of the leg
and the thigh
the small saphenous vein on the other
hand runs posteriorly up the leg and
it's highlighted here in the green color
i've just moved the model distally and
we're taking a look at the dorsal aspect
of the foot
here we have the dorsal venous arch
which drains the dorsal aspect of the
foot and on the plantar aspect of the
foot is a venous network which drains
the plantar structures
coming back to the dorsal view
if we just rotate around to a lateral
view we can see the small saphenous vein
arising from the lateral aspect of the
dorsal venous arch and passing behind
the lateral malleolus to ascend the leg
the small saphenous vein then ascends
posteriorly up the leg to the level of
the knee and it then drains into the
popliteal vein behind the knee joint
i've just removed the structure so that
you can see the small saphenous vein
draining into the popliteal vein
and this is a point where the
superficial venous system meets the deep
venous system
coming back distally to the foot and
taking a look at the medial aspect of
the dorsal venous arch we can see the
great saphenous vein given off
you can see that the great saphenous
vein passes in front of the medial
malleolus and then it runs along the
medial aspect of the leg along the
entire length of the lower limb
it then drains into the deep venous
system by draining into the femoral vein
which we took a look at before
in addition to these two major veins the
small and great saphenous vein you also
have
perforating veins these are small little
veins which pass directly from the
superficial venous system to the deep
venous system
so the deep venous system is actually at
a higher pressure to the superficial
venous system
so in order to prevent the backflow of
blood from the deep to the superficial
system there are valves at these
junctions between the saphenous vein and
the deep system so where the great
saphenous vein drains into the femoral
vein you have a valve which prevents
that higher pressure blood flowing back
into the superficial system
and likewise at the popliteal vein where
the
small saphenous vein drains into the
popliteal you have a valve to prevent
the back blood into the superficial
small saphenous vein
so if these valves become incompetent
the superficial veins dilate up and then
take on this tortuous appearance because
of this backflow of high pressure blood
this appearance is what is referred to
as a varicose vein
so that's an overview of the venous
system of the lower limb
