Veins circumflex the thigh, lateral (V. Circumflexae Femoris Laterales, PNA, BNA)

In human anatomy, the vascular system plays an important role in ensuring blood supply to all organs and tissues of the body. The lateral femoral circumflex veins (V. Circumflexae Femoris Laterales) are one of the components of this complex network of blood vessels.

V. Circumflexae Femoris Laterales are vessels that cover the thigh on the lateral side. They are an important component of the venous system of the lower extremities, responsible for collecting blood from the thigh and draining it back to the heart.

PNA and BNA, abbreviations for the Latin words "Profunda Femoris Artery" and "Branches of the Profunda Femoris Artery" respectively, refer to the arterial system of the femur and are related structures. The venous system, in turn, closely interacts with the arterial system, ensuring effective blood circulation in the tissues.

V. Circumflexae Femoris Laterales are located outward and on the back of the thigh. They form a network of veins that collect blood from the corresponding areas of the thigh and drain it to the larger veins of the lower extremities. This network of veins helps drain blood and remove metabolic waste from the thigh tissue.

The functional significance of the lateral femoral circumflex veins is that they ensure proper blood flow and blood supply to the muscles and other tissues of the thigh. They also play an important role in transporting oxygen and nutrients to these tissues, which are necessary for their normal functioning.

Pathologies of the circumflex and lateral thigh veins can lead to various vascular diseases, such as varicose veins, thrombosis or venous insufficiency. These conditions can cause discomfort, pain and restrictions in the mobility of the lower extremities.

In conclusion, the lateral femoral circumflex veins (V. Circumflexae Femoris Laterales) play an important role in the circulation of the lower extremities. They ensure the collection and drainage of blood from the thigh, maintaining normal tissue function. Understanding the anatomy and function of these veins is important for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases associated with the hip, as well as for a general understanding of the human body and its complex circulatory system.



Veins circumflex the femur. The lateral and medial vein is the circumflex femoral vein or its superficial branch, the great saphenous vein (Popliteal Tubercle).

Important discoveries.

You should know that: 1. The complete structure of the leg cannot be demonstrated by just one image. Therefore, we make sure to show both the structure of the joint and the structure of the muscles. 2. There are large vessels on the inner surface of the thigh. If a person suffers a traumatic rupture of the femur, venous congestion will occur and blood will stop reaching the heart. Such a person may experience serious consequences - from massive swelling of the entire lower limb to varicose veins or lymphatic stasis with an abscess.
