Reputation: 46. Old topic I know, but since I live in Castle Rock, thought I might add my 2 cents (thats 4 cents in Castle Rock, btw). CR is a pretty decent place to live but it is not all all what most would think. First off, CR and the Denver Metro area is mainly high plains terrain with only a view of the mountains. So basically you have shrubs and brown fields, kinda hilly with an occasionally small forested area (Castle Pines).
Hywel Vaughan. answered on 25 Jun 2010: Hi wildrosa, The biggest vein in the body is the âinferior vena cavaâ â this is the vein that returns the blood from the bottom of your body to your heart. The blood is de-oxygenated, and enters the right atrium of your heart â this is at the lower right, back side of your heart.
The inferior vena cava, the largest vein in the human body, transports blood from the lower limbs, most of the back, the abdominopelvic viscera and the abdominal walls to the right atrium. It is formed by the union of the common iliac veins at the level of the body of L5. During its course, it receives many veins referred to as tributaries of the inferior vena cava. This article will discuss the anatomy of these tributaries in detail, followed by any relevant clinical notes.
