What you will learn
- Describe superficial and deep venous networks of the foot, leg, and thigh.
- Follow the great and small saphenous veins, their tributaries, and their terminations.
- Identify superficial and deep lymph nodes and their associated lymphatic pathways.
- Relate valves, perforators, territories, and drainage relays to pelvic-limb circulation.
Course outline
The venous and lymphatic map
From foot capillary networks to iliac veins and relays, venous and lymphatic pathways remain distinct.
8 min
Superficial venous networks of the foot
Dorsal and plantar foot networks converge into marginal veins and give rise to the saphenous veins.
18 min
The great and small saphenous veins
The two superficial axes follow marginal veins, cross the leg, and end in the deep venous networks.
24 min
The deep venous network
Arterial satellites, deep veins drain leg and thigh toward the iliac veins and inferior vena cava.
20 min
Lymph nodes of the pelvic limb
Superficial and deep popliteal and inguinal relays receive lymphatic networks before the iliac pathways.
18 min
Lymphatic vessels
Superficial vessels follow saphenous veins and skin; deep vessels follow deep veins toward inguinal and iliac relays.
