What is "peroneal vein"?

The peroneal vein is a vein located in the lower leg that runs alongside the peroneal artery. It assists in returning deoxygenated blood from the calf and surrounding areas back to the heart. The peroneal vein is responsible for draining blood from the lateral side of the leg, including the muscles, bones, and soft tissues of the lower leg. It plays a vital role in the venous circulation of the leg, working in conjunction with other veins to ensure efficient blood flow and proper oxygenation throughout the lower extremity.
