Deep veins are deeper in the body and have corresponding arteries. Perforator veins drain from the superficial to the deep veins. [16] These are usually referred to in the lower limbs and feet. [17] Superficial veins include the very small spider veins of between 0.5 and 1 mm diameter, and reticular or feeder veins. [18] Venous plexuses

The inferior mesenteric vein connects in the majority of people on the splenic vein, but in some people, it is known to connect on the portal vein or the superior mesenteric vein. Roughly, the portal venous system corresponds to areas supplied by the celiac trunk , the superior mesenteric artery , and the inferior mesenteric artery .
In human anatomy, the common iliac veins are formed by the external iliac veins and internal iliac veins. The left and right common iliac veins come together in the abdomen at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra, [1] forming the inferior vena cava. They drain blood from the pelvis and lower limbs.
The 3rd and 4th lumbar veins drain into the inferior vena cava. [3]The fate of the two superior lumbar veins is far more variable, and may drain into either the inferior vena cava, ascending lumbar vein, azygos vein, or (on the left side) the left renal vein; the 1st lumbar vein often passes inferiorly to join the 2nd lumbar vein, but may less commonly drain into the ascending lumbar vein, or ...
