What is a fibular vein?

Fibular vein is one of several blood vessels, perhaps better known in anatomy as a perial vein, carrying blood on the leg from the external aspect of the calf. The deep vein of the legs, this vessel and its counterparts are found in the very center of the limb inside the fibular bone, one of the two long bones of the lower leg. Each fibular vein is powered by several smaller veins of lateral leg compartment, blood vessels that return blood that supplied oxygen, glucose and other nutrients to the peronal muscles and their accompanying tissue. This blood is then placed by fibular veins in the rear tibial veins and then to the popliteal vein, which transmits it back up to the thigh towards the heart. The arteries carry blood containing nutrients and oxygen from the heart to the tissues and the vein returns it to the heart as soon as these nutrients have been exhausted by the tissues. They tend to occur in pairs and in the lower leg include a popliteal artery and vein, front tibial artery and veins, rear tibial artery and veins and fibrous artery and its corresponding žof a pitch.

While arteries transport blood from larger to smaller blood vessels and its branches tend to be known under other names, the vein under a single name may include two or more smaller blood vessels that return blood into one larger vein. These are known as Venae Comitantes and run on both sides of the corresponding arteries. The fibular veins then accompany the fibular artery before they are joined to create a single fibular vein and supply blood to the rear tibial veins, which are venae comitants of the rear tibial artery.

Every fibular vein, in addition to receiving blood from smaller blood vessels that returns from the peronal muscles side of the calf is powered by a closed loop of veins in the leg. Blood from these veins passes through every main vein of the lower legs on its course back to the heart, while the veins grow, the higher the legs are found. For example, fibrous veins are merged to form a larger fibular vein that then connects to the rear tibiaLarge vein to form a larger tibial/peronal strain for a short distance below the knee joint. The rear tibial vein is then attached to the front tibial vein behind the knee to form a popliteal vein, one of the two main veins of the thighs.
