Superficial circumflex iliac vein is either of the two venae comitantes of the superficial circumflex iliac artery. It usually empties into the great saphenous vein just proximal to where it itself empties into the femoral vein , but may sometimes instead empty into the femoral vein directly. [ 1 ]
The superficial iliac circumflex artery (or superficial circumflex iliac), the smallest of the cutaneous branches of the femoral artery, arises close to the superficial epigastric artery, and, piercing the fascia lata, runs lateralward, parallel with the inguinal ligament, as far as the crest of the ilium.
In human anatomy, iliac vein refers to several anatomical structures located in the pelvis: Common iliac vein, formed by the external and internal iliac veins, drains into the inferior vena cava; Deep circumflex iliac vein, formed by the union of the venae comitantes of the deep iliac circumflex artery, and joins the external iliac vein
The superficial circumflex iliac artery [14] is a small branch that runs up to the region of the anterior superior iliac spine. The superficial epigastric artery [14] is a small branch that crosses the inguinal ligament and runs to the region of the umbilicus. The superficial external pudendal artery [14] is a small branch that runs medially to ...
The great saphenous vein (GSV) or long saphenous vein (/ s ə ˈ f iː n ə s /) is a large, subcutaneous, superficial vein of the leg. It is the longest vein in the body, running along the length of the lower limb, returning blood from the foot , leg and thigh to the deep femoral vein at the femoral triangle .
The deep circumflex iliac vein is formed by the union of the venae comitantes of the deep iliac circumflex artery. [1] It drains venous blood from the walls of the iliac fossa. [2] It empties into the external iliac vein about 2 cm superior to the inguinal ligament, [3] just distal to where the inferior epigastric vein does so. [1]
As the common femoral vein leaves the inguinal ligament region it becomes the external iliac vein. [4] Other tributaries of the femoral vein are lateral and medial circumflex femoral veins. The common femoral vein is the segment of the femoral vein between the branching point of the deep femoral vein and the inferior margin of the inguinal ...
