MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These are blood vessels that take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Veins become larger and larger as they get closer to the heart. The superior vena cava is the large vein that brings blood from the head and arms to the heart, and the inferior vena cava brings blood from the abdomen and legs into the heart. 30-Apr-2019

Detailed explanation-2: -Veins carry deoxygenated blood towards your heart and are often located close to your skin. Veins don’t have a muscular layer like arteries do, so they rely on valves to keep your blood moving. Veins start as tiny blood vessels called venules, which become full-size veins as they come closer to your heart.
