Peripheral Vein

Molecular classification: Vessel, Anatomical structure

Overview

Peripheral veins are blood vessels located outside the central thoracic cavity, primarily in the limbs (arms and legs), that return deoxygenated blood from peripheral tissues back to the heart. They are a key component of the peripheral vascular system. Peripheral vein refers anatomically to a type of vessel rather than a specific molecule or receptor.
