- Accessory hemi-azygos veinVena hemiazygos accessoriaA vein on the left side of the upper thoracic vertebrae that drains the upper left posterior intercostal spaces into the azygos vein.
- Azygos veinVena azygaAn unpaired vein climbing beside the thoracic spine on the right that drains the back of the chest wall into the superior vena cava.
- Common iliac veinVena iliaca communisA short paired vein of the lower abdomen, formed anterior to the sacroiliac joint, that joins its partner to make the inferior vena cava.
- Coronary sinusSinus coronariusA wide venous channel in the posterior atrioventricular groove that gathers most of the heart's own venous blood and empties into the right atrium.
- External iliac veinVena iliaca externaA paired pelvic vein continuing the femoral vein from the inguinal ligament along the pelvic brim to the front of the sacroiliac joint.
- Great cardiac veinVena magna cordisThe largest tributary of the coronary sinus, climbing the anterior interventricular groove and curving left round the heart to its back.
- Hemi-azygos veinVena hemiazygaA vein beside the lower thoracic spine on the left that drains the lower left chest wall and crosses the midline to join the azygos.
- Hepatic portal veinVena portae hepatisThe short, wide vein that carries blood from the gut, spleen, pancreas and gallbladder into the liver, formed at the pancreatic neck.
- Hepatic veinsVenae hepaticaeThe valveless veins that carry blood out of the liver and open directly into the inferior vena cava behind it.
- Iliolumbar veinVena iliolumbalisA paired vein of the posterior abdominal wall that accompanies the iliolumbar artery and drains the iliac fossa and lower lumbar region.
- Inferior epigastric veinVena epigastrica inferiorA paired vein of the lower anterior abdominal wall that rises with the inferior epigastric artery and empties into the external iliac vein.
- Inferior gluteal veinsVenae gluteae inferioresPaired companion veins of the inferior gluteal artery that drain the lower buttock and back of the upper thigh into the internal iliac vein.
- Inferior mesenteric veinVena mesenterica inferiorA vein of the posterior abdominal wall that drains the left colon, sigmoid colon and rectum and usually ends in the splenic vein.
- Inferior vena cava (abdominal part)Vena cava inferior (pars abdominis)The long abdominal stretch of the body's largest vein, rising from L5 on the right of the spine to the caval opening of the diaphragm.
- Inferior vena cava (thoracic part)Vena cava inferior (part thoracica)The very short final segment of the inferior vena cava, running from the diaphragm through the pericardium into the right atrium.
- Internal iliac veinVena iliaca internaA short, wide paired pelvic vein that gathers blood from the pelvis and buttock and joins the external iliac vein at the pelvic brim.
- Internal thoracic veinsVenae thoracicae internaePaired veins behind the costal cartilages, beside the sternum, that drain the anterior chest wall into the brachiocephalic veins.
- Intrarenal veins of left kidneyVenae intrarenales renis sinistriThe network of veins inside the left kidney that gathers blood from cortex and medulla and leads it to the left renal vein.
- Intrarenal veins of right kidneyVenae intrarenales renis dextriThe veins within the right kidney, running from the cortex and medulla towards the hilum, where they form the short right renal vein.
- Lateral sacral veinsVenae sacrales latéralesPaired veins on the front of the sacrum that travel with the lateral sacral arteries and drain into the internal iliac vein.
- Left ascending lumbar veinVena lumbalis ascendens sinistraA vertical vein on the left of the lumbar spine, linking the common iliac and lumbar veins below with the hemiazygos vein above.
- Left brachiocephalic veinVena brachiocephalica sinistraA long vein crossing the upper mediastinum behind the manubrium, from the left sternoclavicular joint to meet its right partner.
- Left gastro-omental veinVena gastroomentalis sinistraA vein following the stomach's greater curvature from right to left that drains the stomach and greater omentum into the splenic vein.
- Left inferior pulmonary veinVena pulmonalis sinistra inferiorThe lowest vein at the left hilum, returning oxygenated blood from the left lower lobe to the left atrium.
