Vein Epigastric Superficial (lat. Vena epigastrica superficialis) is a paired vein on the anterior-inner part of the abdominal wall. It is a branch of the internal mammary vein and starts from the anterior surface of the epigastrium.
This vein runs down to the groin, where it joins the external iliac vein, and then continues through the anterior abdominal wall until it reaches the lower chest.
The main function of this vein is to drain blood from the abdominal organs to the heart. In addition, it can participate in blood circulation in the legs and arms, as well as in the body's metabolism.
However, like any other vein, the Epigastric Superficial can be susceptible to various diseases, such as varicose veins or thrombosis. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health and undergo regular medical examinations.

***Vein of the Epigastric Superficialis (V. Epigastris Superficialis)*** - is part of the human circulatory system, located in the upper abdomen, above the navel. It carries blood from organs located in the abdominal cavity to the heart.
First, let's figure out which veins are superficial and what the epigastric vein itself is. So, in every part of our body there are veins of different types and sizes. Each type collects blood from a specific area of the body and carries it to another type of vein, which then transfers it to larger veins. Scientists have identified several types of veins, one of them is superficial veins. **Superficial veins** are those that have access to the skin and adjacent tissues. They are found on the surface of the skin, creating a network of veins underneath it (the superficial venous system). Veins of the superficial type are connected between
