Chapter 18, Problem 20CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
Name of the veins which drain the dural venous sinuses; and the area of their termination.
Introduction:
Arteries, veins, and capillaries are the major blood vessels carrying blood. Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood from the tissues towards the heart from various capillary beds. The capillaries unite to form large venules and venules finally join to form veins. Vena cava is one of the largest veins, which branches to the form superior and inferior vena cava.
