    Oxygen-poor blood enters the right side of the heart through two large veins.

The capillaries are responsible for allowing the blood to receive oxygen through tiny air sacs in the lungs.

This practice is now less widely accepted. People with varicose veins should now be investigated using lower limbs venous ultrasonography.

    There are four main pulmonary veins, two from each lung – an inferior and a superior main vein, emerging from each hilum. The main pulmonary veins receive blood from three or four feeding veins in each lung, and drain into the left atrium. The peripheral feeding veins do not follow the bronchial tree.

    The basilic vein is a large superficial vein of the upper limb that helps drain parts of the hand and forearm. [1] It originates on the medial side of the dorsal venous network of the hand and travels up the base of the forearm, where its course is generally visible through the skin as it travels in the subcutaneous fat and fascia lying superficial to the muscles.
