A varve is an annual layer of sediment or sedimentary rock. The word 'varve' derives from the Swedish word varv whose meanings and connotations include 'revolution', 'in layers', and 'circle'. The term first appeared as Hvarfig lera (varved clay) on the first map produced by the Geological Survey of Sweden in 1862.
Veins affected by varices are called VARICOSE VEINS and these are commonest in the legs. Oesophageal varices are the varicosities of the veins at the lower end of the OESOPHAGUS that occur when the portal vein drainage through the liver is impeded by CIRRHOSIS. They are liable to cause dangerous bleeding.
