Vein Vertebral

The vertebral vein is one of the branches of the vertebral artery that runs through the spine and supplies blood to the spinal cord and spine. It is one of the main arteries providing blood circulation to the spine and spinal cord.

The vertebral vein begins from the spinal canal, where it crosses the vertebral arch and enters the spinal canal. It then runs along the spine and branches into smaller veins that provide blood supply to the vertebrae, ligaments and muscles of the back.

Impaired blood supply in the vertebral vein can lead to various diseases of the spine, such as osteochondrosis, intervertebral disc herniation and others. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the vertebral vein and its branches, as well as undergo regular examinations by a doctor.
