74
Direct perforator in Types of Perforating veins in Drainage of the lower limb
connects Directly between the superficial & deep system
75
Indirect perforator in Types of Perforating veins in Drainage of the lower limb
1. It penetrates the deep fascia to connect with vessel in a muscle, which in turn is connected to one of the deep veins. 2. Stronger due to surrounding muscles
76
FACTORS THAT HELP THE VENOUS RETURN in Drainage of the lower limb
1. The muscle pump. 2. The unidirectional valves 3. The negative intrathoracic pressure.
77
The most significant factors in the pathology of ankle ulceration in Drainage of the lower limb
In the ankle region there is little muscle and therefore few inefficient indirect perforators, and consequently the return of blood from the superficial tissues is dependent on the direct perforators which are weak

79
Site of the last valve in deep system in Oral questions in Drainage of the lower limb

80
People who are more prone to varicose veins in Oral questions in Drainage of the lower limb
People who are with no valve in external iliac vein
81
Difference between perforator and communicator in Oral questions in Drainage of the lower limb
Perforator : is a vein that perforates deep fascia to connect between superficial and deep system of veins Communicator: is a vein that communicates two veins in same fascial compartment
82
