Dorsal metacarpal veins

Dorsal metacarpal veins (lat. v. metacarpeae dorsales, pna, bna; v. metacarpicae dorsales, jna) - superficial veins of the hand, located on the dorsal surface of the metacarpal bones.

The dorsal metacarpal veins form the dorsal venous network of the hand, which anastomoses with the palmar venous network of the hand. The dorsal metacarpal veins begin from the venous plexuses of the fingers and run along the back of the metacarpal bones in the proximal direction. They drain into the veins of the forearm - the ulnar vein and the radial vein.

The dorsal metacarpal veins drain blood from the dorsum of the metacarpal bones and finger joints. They play an important role in the outflow of blood from the hand into the venous system of the forearm. Damage to these veins can impair venous drainage from the hand and lead to the development of edema.

The dorsal metacarpal veins are a system of veins that are located deep within the muscles of the hand and forearm, providing blood supply to these areas. These veins are among the most complex anatomical structures, and their study requires in-depth knowledge of anatomy. Let's take a closer look at what the dorsal metacarpal veins are, where they are located and what functions they perform.

Description

The metacarpal dorsal veins are large veins that pass through the deep layers of the muscles of the arms and hands. They collect blood from a number of muscles, nerves and bones located in the front area of ​​the hand. The veins form several large tributaries, which ultimately unite into one main vein, going
