Fibular Vein (Noun)
Meaning
Accompany the peroneal arteries; arising in the heel and running up the back of the leg to join the posterior tibial veins of the popliteal vein.
Classification
Nouns denoting body parts.
Examples
- The fibular vein typically accompanies the peroneal or fibular artery and the posterior interosseous artery up the side of the leg to join the posterior tibial vein, a tributary of the popliteal vein.
- Along the posterior aspect of the long bone of the lateral leg, the fibular vein accompanies the peroneal or fibular artery and drains into the posterior tibial veins that form the popliteal vein.
- The fibular vein originates from a deep plexus of veins in the foot before coursing upwards in the posterior portion of the lateral leg along with the peroneal or fibular artery to ultimately merge with the posterior tibial veins and become part of the popliteal vein.
- It generally accompanites the peroneal arteries up to the lateral side of the leg where it joins the posterior tibial veins in ultimately forming the popliteal vein.
- The fibular vein ascends from the heel and follows the lateral border of the long bone in the lower leg upwards with peroneal or fibular artery and empties into posterior tibial veins going to form the popliteal vein.
