Venous disease of the lower extremities is common but is often misunderstood. It seems that the focus is on the exciting world of arterial anatomy and pathology, while the topic of venous anatomy and pathology comes in second place. However, venous diseases such as chronic venous insufficiency, leg ulcers, and varicose veins affect much of the population and may lead to disability and death. Nurses are often required to answer complex questions from the patients and his or her family about the patient's disease. Patients depend on nurses to provide accurate information in terms they can understand. Therefore it is important to have an understanding of the normal venous system of the legs before one can understand the complexities of venous diseases and treatments. This presents an overview of normal venous anatomy and physiology.
下肢静脉疾病很常见，但常常被误解。似乎人们的关注点都在令人兴奋的动脉解剖学和病理学领域，而静脉解剖学和病理学则位居其次。然而，诸如慢性静脉功能不全、腿部溃疡和静脉曲张等静脉疾病影响着大量人群，可能导致残疾甚至死亡。护士经常需要回答患者及其家属关于患者病情的复杂问题。患者依赖护士提供他们能够理解的准确信息。因此，在理解静脉疾病及其治疗的复杂性之前，了解腿部正常静脉系统很重要。本文将概述正常静脉的解剖学和生理学。
