Vena Spinalis (Noun)

Classification

Nouns denoting body parts.

Examples

  • The vena spinalis is a small extradural vein that collects blood from the spinal cord and is located in the posterior part of the vertebral canal.
  • A network of tiny vena spinalis veins and sulcal veins helps to drain deoxygenated blood away from the spinal cord.
  • An intradural vena spinalis or an anterior spinal vein is located in the anterior part of the vertebral canal and can drain into nearby veins and the internal vertebral venous plexus.
  • Vena spinalis provide an important route through which deoxygenated blood is cleared from the spinal cord and directed towards veins that have connections to the body's systemic venous system.
  • Because the arrangement of these vena spinalis is not well-standardized each one has the ability to connect and interlink at variable locations in the vertebral canal.
