The femoral vein is a large vessel through which venous blood flows from the lower extremities to the heart. It is formed from the confluence of the popliteal and subinguinal veins. Inflammation of the deep femoral vein is called thrombophlebitis. This condition is sometimes called deep vein thromboembolism.
The femoral vein is a continuation of the great saphenous vein and flows into the femoral vein, and after its knee the peroneal veins begin, which merge to form the anterior tibial vein. Drainage vessels are located in the muscles of the lower leg. Thus, the question of femoral-patellar circulation and its role in maintaining the health of the blood vessels of the legs is becoming increasingly relevant. It is obvious that the retinal circulation is manifested in a large number of refluxes - reverse flows of venous blood, which direct the retinal vessels into the femoral knee stronger than the arterial vascular vessels. Thus, it actively participates in the metabolic function of the blood. To perform this function, it is necessary to keep the inner lining of the vessels elastic, flexible and capable of self-regulation. This position corresponds to the age of 25-30 years. However, with age, the phenomena of arteriosclerosis and sclerosis intensify, the elasticity of the intima decreases, and atherosclerosis of the brain and heart develops. Veins begin to lose their elasticity not only in the lower extremities, but throughout the body. In the lower extremity, the iliac vein is divided into two branches, which also form prominent superficial veins - the anterior and posterior scrotal veins. The anterior superficial blood veins are divided into their own, arising directly from the iliac vein, and adductor, starting from the thoracolumbar and lumbar venous capillaries. Both types of superficial veins drain into the femoral veins.
The submarinal culpa is located directly below the groin in women or slightly lower in men. Here the inferior epigastric vein merges with the lymphatic vessels and the resulting highway moves the lymph towards the chest. The leaky posterior superior vein joins the posterior superior great vein, which drains into the internal mammary vein, which feeds into the internal jugular vein (connection D6).
Venous blood returns from the legs to the inferior vena cava in the chest cavity through the renal and inferior suprarenal veins; inferior epigastric vein; posterior superior inferior vein; renal vein (with ox II, III, IV); lateral veins (3) and the right inferior transverse vein on the right (with streams I, II and III) of the testicle; veins of the spermatic cord (both), superior epigastric veins (2) - petrosal and petrosal, branchial veins - tributaries included in the internal kidney system. They supply blood to the testicles, superior hypogastric veins and cavernous bodies. The inferior hypogastric veins connect the initial venous circulation in the petrosal (petrosal) vein and petrosal vein on the left with the internal cavernous caverns
