vena

Also known as veins

vaso sanguigno che conduce il sangue verso il cuore

AI overview

A vein is a blood vessel that carries blood back toward the heart as part of the circulatory system in humans and other animals. Most veins transport blood that has lost its oxygen as it passed through the body's tissues, though a few exceptions like the pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood instead.

Una vena, in anatomia, è un vaso sanguigno che conduce il sangue verso il cuore. La maggior parte delle vene trasporta il sangue privo di ossigeno (o meglio, con una concentrazione minore di ossigeno) dai tessuti al cuore, ad eccezione delle vene polmonari e delle vene ombelicali, che trasportano il sangue ossigenato verso il cuore. Sono vene anche quei vasi che costruiscono un proprio distretto vascolare: come ad esempio i vasi del sistema portale enterico ed il sistema portale ipofisario. Le arterie invece sono i vasi che portano il sangue ossigenato dal cuore ai tessuti. Le vene sono dotate di una muscolatura meno spessa rispetto alle arterie e in genere si trovano più vicine alla pelle. Questi vasi sanguigni possono essere dotati di valvole per prevenire il reflusso sanguigno. Le vene contengono la maggior parte del volume sanguigno, circa il 60%.
