Talk:Vein

message: The Phlebology section is extremely US biased and reads as an advertisement for the American College of Phlebology. I suggest to move this section to it's own page (it is now self-referent), as has been done for phlebologist. LennartVerhagen (talk) 10:40, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some confusion about the color of veins here.  The blood within veins is definitely dark red, and the bluish color one sees is due to the way light scatters through the skin.  I'm not 100% confident on the exact particulars of this phenomenon - this article covers it nicely, but I'm not expert enough to properly incorporate it here. In the meantime, I've reverted this section back to what looks like the most accurate state (it was erased some time ago, but it shouldn't have been...). Samworf (talk) 06:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Didn't flow or make sense, edited to: 
Standing or sitting for a prolonged period of time can cause low venous return from venous pooling (vascular) shock.

message: Thanks for the insight.
Does natural contraction of skeletal muscle "massage" the vein and through the one-way mechanism of the venous valve then assist the heart? 
Could a pace maker applied to skeletal muscle tissue wrapped around the largest veins provide ventricular assistance? In fact, could it continue circulation should the heart fail thus allow time for treatment and recuperation? 
If a person could have a supplementary heart(s), which veins would be the best candidates? does anything happen to it

message: What the heck is a vericuss? The article says that a vericuss is the predecessor to the vein, but doesn't explain it. Also, I did a quick Google search and it sent me to a site for some teacher. I don't know the correct info, so I didn't correct it, but can someone either replace it with accurate info or give a citation?

replies: text: It was added about a month ago by an anonymous user, replacing a blank field.  I see no results for it on Google Scholar, so I think it's probably nonsense and I've removed it.  I'm not a biologist so I also don't know for sure though.  --Pokechu22 (talk) 07:03, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
