Summary Introduction
The circulatory system of the body consists of three types of blood vessels, namely arteries, veins, and capillaries. Veins are thin tubes through which blood is a return to the heart for purification. Deep veins, pulmonary veins, superficial veins, and systemic veins are the types of veins. When compared to arteries, the veins are less muscular and it is closer to the skin. The most common disorder of the venous system is venous insufficiency and it is generally manifested as varicose veins or spider veins.
