- Left renal veinVena renalis sinistraThe long vein draining the left kidney, which crosses in front of the aorta below the superior mesenteric artery to reach the inferior vena cava.
- Left subclavian veinVena subclavia sinistraA large vein at the root of the neck carrying blood from the left upper limb, and receiving the thoracic duct at its junction.
- Left subcostal veinVena subcostalis sinistraThe vein running along the lower border of the left twelfth rib, which joins the left ascending lumbar vein to form the hemiazygos vein.
- Left superior intercostal veinVena intercostalis superior sinistraA vein formed by the upper left posterior intercostal veins that crosses the aortic arch to end in the left brachiocephalic vein.
- Left superior pulmonary veinVena pulmonalis sinistra superiorThe vein bringing oxygenated blood from the upper lobe and lingula of the left lung to the left atrium.
- Lumbar veinsVenae lumbalesSegmental veins of the posterior abdominal wall that run with the lumbar arteries and empty into the inferior vena cava and ascending lumbar veins.
- Middle cardiac veinVena media cordis interventricularis inferiorA cardiac vein rising from the apex in the posterior interventricular groove to empty into the right end of the coronary sinus.
- Middle colic veinVena colica mediaA vein in the transverse mesocolon that drains the transverse colon and runs with the middle colic artery to the superior mesenteric vein.
- Musculophrenic veinsVenae musculophrenicaeSmall paired veins running along the inner costal margin with the musculophrenic artery, draining the lower chest wall and diaphragm into the internal thoracic vein.
- Right ascending lumbar veinVena lumbalis ascendens dextraA longitudinal vein on the right side of the lumbar vertebrae that connects the lumbar veins and ends by forming the azygos vein.
- Right brachiocephalic veinVena brachiocephalica dextraA short, almost vertical vein behind the right sternoclavicular joint that meets its left partner to begin the superior vena cava.
- Right colic veinVena colica dextraA vein behind the peritoneum on the right of the abdomen that drains the ascending colon into the superior mesenteric vein.
- Right gastro-omental veinVena gastroomentalis dextraA vein of the greater omentum that follows the stomach's greater curvature towards the pylorus and ends in the superior mesenteric vein.
- Right inferior pulmonary veinVena pulmonalis dextra inferiorThe lowest vein of the right lung root, carrying oxygenated blood from the right lower lobe into the left atrium.
- Right renal veinVena renalis dextraThe short vein draining the right kidney, passing straight from the renal hilum into the side of the inferior vena cava.
- Right subclavian veinVena subclavia dextraA large vein at the root of the neck carrying blood from the right upper limb to the right brachiocephalic vein.
- Right subcostal veinVena subcostalis dextraThe segmental vein below the right twelfth rib; it meets the right ascending lumbar vein and with it forms the azygos vein.
- Right superior intercostal veinVena intercostalis superior dextraThe vein formed by the upper right posterior intercostal veins, descending beside the spine to end in the arch of the azygos vein.
- Right superior phrenic veinVena phrenica superior dextraA small vein on the upper surface of the right half of the diaphragm, at the back, draining into the azygos system.
- Right superior pulmonary veinVena pulmonalis dextra superiorThe vein draining the upper and middle lobes of the right lung, passing behind the superior vena cava to the left atrium.
- Sigmoid veinsVenae sigmoideaeSeveral veins in the sigmoid mesocolon that drain the sigmoid colon into the inferior mesenteric vein, part of the hepatic portal system.
- Splenic veinVena splenicaA large vein running behind the pancreas from the spleen to meet the superior mesenteric vein, where the portal vein begins.
- Subscapular veinVena subscapularisA short, wide vein on the posterior wall of the axilla, formed by the circumflex scapular and thoracodorsal veins and draining into the axillary vein.
- Superior epigastric veinsVenae epigastricae superioresPaired veins in the upper rectus sheath that drain the upper anterior abdominal wall and continue upwards as the internal thoracic veins.
