Ορισμός και Σημασία του "posterior tibial vein"

What is "posterior tibial vein"?

The posterior tibial vein is a deep vein located in the lower leg that runs parallel to the posterior tibial artery. It receives blood from smaller veins in the foot and calf region and plays a key role in draining deoxygenated blood from these areas. The posterior tibial vein joins with other veins to form the popliteal vein, which further contributes to the venous return of blood back to the heart.
