The major (truncal) superficial veins are the main veins outside of the muscle but under the skin. They lie in the subcutaneous fat and are not usually visible. Rarely, in very slim people sections of these truncal veins can be seen on the surface.
What are non truncal veins?
Truncal veins (or systematized veins) include the great and small saphenous veins, the anterior accessory saphenous vein, and the Giacomini vein (intersaphenous). The non-systematized veins include the non-truncal superficial venous system, which is located subcutaneously and has a reticular appearance.
What are the different types of veins?
- Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
- Systemic veins return oxygen-depleted blood from the rest of the body to the right atrium of the heart.
