VENA EPIGASTRICA SUPERFICIALIS Meaning and Definition

1. Vena Epigastrica Superficialis, also known as the Superficial Epigastric Vein, is a term used in anatomy to describe a blood vessel located in the human body. More specifically, it refers to a superficial vein found in the region of the epigastrium, which is the upper part of the abdomen between the costal margins and the umbilicus (belly button).

   The Vena Epigastrica Superficialis is a subcutaneous vein that courses along the surface of the abdominal wall, running diagonally towards the umbilical region. It is a tributary of the great saphenous vein, meaning it ultimately drains into this major vein of the lower limb.

   Typically, the Vena Epigastrica Superficialis receives blood from various structures in the abdominal wall, such as the anterior abdominal wall muscles and the overlying subcutaneous tissues. This blood is then transported to more major venous trunks for eventual return to the heart.

   In medical practice, the Vena Epigastrica Superficialis may play a role in venous drainage and blood flow regulation within the abdominal region. It is also of relevance in clinical scenarios like surgeries or diagnostic procedures involving the abdomen, where knowledge of the anatomical structures and pathways allows for the appropriate management and understanding of potential complications.

2. Superficial epigastric vein, drains the lower and inner part of the abdominal wall and empties into the saphena magna or long saphenous vein.
