Study of venous segments in the spleens of buffalo and dog
Acta Anatomica
|January 1, 1982
Abstract:
By preparing the corrosion cast of the splenic vein and its intrasplenic tree, venous segments have been observed in the spleens of buffalo and dog. The buffalo spleen showed the presence of two venous segments (a dorsal and a ventral) in 85% of cases and three (a dorsal, an intermediate and a ventral) in 15% of cases. The spleen of the dog revealed only two venous segments (a dorsal and a ventral) in all the specimens. The results are compared with descriptions available in the literature.

Veins of the Abdomen and Pelvis
The human body is a complex system of interconnected parts, and the circulatory system plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. One key component of this system is the inferior vena cava, a large vein responsible for returning blood from the abdominopelvic viscera and abdominal walls to the heart.
The inferior vena cava is fed by numerous smaller veins. The lumbar veins, for instance, drain the posterior abdominal wall, emptying both directly into the inferior vena cava and into the...

Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...
