Vascular nerves (nervi vasorum) are nerves which innervate arteries and veins. The vascular nerves control vasodilation and vasoconstriction , which in turn lead to the control and regulation of temperature and homeostasis .
Communicating veins are veins that communicate two different points of the same venous system. Other veins that connect the superficial venous system with the deep venous system are known as perforator veins.
