Tibial Veins


We just learned about the small saphenous vein.

Some other veins that brings deoxygenated blood back toward the heart are the tibial veins.

There are two types of tibial veins, anterior and posterior.
The word anterior means in the front, and posterior means in the back.
So the anterior tibial veins are in the front part of your leg by your tibia bone, and the posterior tibial veins are in the back part of your leg by your tibia bone.

(from: wikipedia - posterior tibial vein)
