Deep Veins

Posterior Tibial Veins

Carries blood from the posterior compartment of the leg and joins the Peroneal veins to form the tibioperoneal trunk.

Peroneal Veins

Carries blood from the lateral compartment of the leg and joins the posterior tibial veins to form the tibioperoneal trunk

Tibioperoneal trunk

Is formed by the confluence of the Peroneal veins and the Posterior tibial veins.

Anterior Tibial Veins

Carries blood from the anterior compartment of the leg and joins the tibioperoneal trunk to form the popliteal vein.

Popliteal Vein

Formed by the confluence of the anterior tibial vein and the tibioperoneal trunk

Femoral Vein

A continuation of the popliteal vein that begins at the adductor canal.

Deep Femoral Vein (Profunda Femoris Vein)

Carries blood from the posterior aspect of the thigh and joins the femoral vein to form the common femoral vein

Common femoral vein

The confluence of the deep femoral vein and the femoral ven.

External Iliac Vein

The continuation of the common femoral vein above the inguinal ligaments.

Superficial Veins

Greater Saphenous Vein

Originates on the dorsum of the foot at the 1^st digit (great toe), travels posterior to the medial malleolous and continues to course up the medial aspect of the leg until it joins the femoral vein.

Lesser Saphenous Vein

Originates on the dorsum of the foot at the 5^th digit (small toe), travels inferior and posterior to the lateral malleolous and continues to course up the posterior aspect of the leg and joins the popliteal vein.
