Abstract

The veins in man were a subject of study-by 'many' investigators. The previous studies showed that there were structural variations among the human veins. In this study, the saphenous vein was selected from the lower limbs for study in an attempt to correlate the structural variations of the human veins to their sites and their function in the human body.
