Detailed explanation-1: -Your inferior vena cava, your body’s largest vein, carries oxygen-depleted blood back to your heart from the lower part of your body (below your diaphragm). Your superior vena cava, your second biggest vein, brings oxygen-poor blood from your upper body to your heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the Longest Vein in the Body? Did you know that your Great Saphenous Vein is the longest vein in the human body? Extending from the top of your foot to the upper thigh and groin, THIS vein is the major culprit that causes Varicose Veins.
Detailed explanation-3: -The right and left brachiocephalic veins, also known as the innominate veins, join to form the superior vena cava posterior to the inferior border of the first right costal cartilage. These veins carry blood from the chest wall, esophagus, lungs, neck, and pericardium.
Detailed explanation-4: -The largest artery in the body is Aorta that pumps oxygenated blood into the body. The largest vein in the body is Vena Cava (Inferior/Superior) that returns deoxygenated blood to the heart.
