text: Veins of the Lower Limbs Vessel Description Plantar veins Drain the foot and flow into the plantar venous arch Dorsal venous arch Drains blood from digital veins and vessels on the superior surface of the foot Plantar venous arch Formed from the plantar veins; flows into the anterior and posterior tibial veins through anastomoses Anterior tibial vein Formed from the dorsal venous arch; drains the area near the tibialis anterior muscle and flows into the popliteal vein Posterior tibial vein Formed from the dorsal venous arch; drains the area near the posterior surface of the tibia and flows into the popliteal vein Fibular vein Drains the muscles and integument near the fibula and flows into the popliteal vein Small saphenous vein Located on the lateral surface of the leg; drains blood from the superficial regions of the lower leg and foot, and flows into the popliteal vein Popliteal vein Drains the region behind the knee and forms from the fusion of the fibular, anterior, and posterior tibial veins; flows into the femoral vein Great saphenous vein Prominent surface vessel located on the medial surface of the leg and thigh; drains the superficial portions of these areas and flows into the femoral vein Deep femoral vein Drains blood from the deeper portions of the thigh and flows into the femoral vein Femoral circumflex vein Forms a loop around the femur just inferior to the trochanters; drains blood from the areas around the head and neck of the femur; flows into the femoral vein Femoral vein Drains the upper leg; receives blood from the great saphenous vein, the deep femoral vein, and the femoral circumflex vein; becomes the external iliac vein when it crosses the body wall External iliac vein Formed when the femoral vein passes into the body cavity; drains the legs and flows into the common iliac vein Internal iliac vein Drains the pelvic organs and integument; formed from several smaller veins in the region; flows into the common iliac vein Middle sacral vein Drains the sacral region and flows into the left common iliac vein Common iliac vein Flows into the inferior vena cava at the level of L5; the left common iliac vein drains the sacral region; formed from the union of the external and internal iliac veins near the inferior portion of the sacroiliac joint
text: external iliac vein: formed when the femoral vein passes into the body cavity; drains the legs and leads to the common iliac vein
