Do you know what the middle labial vein is? Maybe she is also called Labial Vein? Let's talk about it today.
The labial vein is one of many veins in our body. It is part of the venous system and is responsible for transporting blood throughout the body. The main function is to maintain a sufficient amount of blood in the vascular system, prevent blood clotting and ensure the transfer of oxygen and nutrients from the periphery to the heart.
For a more precise explanation, let's first understand how veins and lymphatic vessels work. The lymphatic system plays an important role in metabolism and cell repair in the body. Its capillaries are connected to each other and form networks that envelop all our organs and tissues. The vein carries blood from the capillaries to the heart, where it passes through the pulmonary system. This occurs due to the flow of air and the respiratory function of our lungs. Blood is removed from the body through the small veins and veins of the upper body. When the blood reaches the heart, it is filtered in the lungs and excess fluid is removed from the blood. After this, it goes back into the body through the middle veins. They form a kind of vertical connection between the descending system of the upper and the ascending system of the lower body and ensure a constant flow of blood between the veins of the upper and lower body. One of these large veins is the Middle labial vein.
Why is it called the Middle labial vein? The first two letters of the name are associated with Latin - v and l. The designation means "labial". In anatomy this is translated as “labial” or simply “lip”. The middle parts of the term are already Latin - “media”, which means “middle”. Thus, "labial vein" literally tells us that it is located between the arch of the lips and the upper teeth, in the midline of the face. Another interesting detail is that the name "v." indicates a small vein. Thus, we get the name “small labial veins”, which really correspond to the description of the “small” vein. In medical practice, they are often shortened and called the labial veins, or the middle labial vein. Fortunately, all three terms mean the same thing, provided the middle vein of the lips is meant. Now you know about the function of this vein and its anatomy. If you have any other questions or topics to discuss, don't hesitate to ask me!
