The dorsal interosseous metacarpal veins (venae interosseae metacarpales dorsales) are venous vessels that are located on the dorsal surface of the metacarpal bones. They connect the interosseous veins with the dorsal veins of the hand, ensuring the outflow of blood from the interosseous muscles and joints.
The dorsal interosseous metacarpal veins are formed as a result of the fusion of the interosseous veins and the dorsal veins of the hand. They run along the back of the metacarpal bones and connect with the interosseous veins, forming a network of veins on the back of the hand.
The dorsal interosseous metacarpal veins play an important role in the blood circulation of the hand and fingers. They provide blood flow from interosseous muscles, tendons and joints, as well as from the skin and fingernails. In addition, they participate in the circulation of lymph, which is formed during the filtration of intercellular fluid in tissues.
Dysfunction of the interosseous dorsal metacarpal veins can lead to swelling and pain in the hand and fingers, especially when standing or working with the hands for long periods of time. Also, if the veins cannot cope with the outflow of blood, this can lead to the formation of blood clots and other complications.
To prevent dysfunction of the veins of the interosseous metacarpal dorsum, it is recommended to monitor your health and lifestyle. Avoid long periods of standing or using your hands, take regular breaks and stretches, and watch your diet and weight.
