- Synopsis
- This image shows the major veins in the lower body. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. In the top centre of the page the inferior vena cava divides into the left and right common iliac veins. The common iliac veins then divide into internal and external iliac veins. The internal veins are smaller and supply the pelvis. The external veins supply the whole leg. In the thigh the external iliac veins divides into great saphenous veins and the femoral veins. The vessels to the outside in each leg are the femoral veins. The vessels nearer the centre are the great saphenous veins. The femoral veins go down the page and divide at the knee into anterior and posterior tibial veins. The vessels to the outside in each leg are the anterior tibial veins at the front of the lower leg. The vessels nearer the centre are the posterior tibial veins at the back of the lower leg. In each leg the anterior tibial vein and the great saphenous vein join together in an arch. Small veins arise from the arch supplying the toes."
