Vertebral Venous System 3D

  • Description
    • * Is a network of veins that runs alongside the vertebral column and drains blood from the spinal cord and other structures in the region.
    • * Is made up of several components, including the anterior and posterior vertebral veins, basivertebral veins, and the internal and external vertebral venous plexus.

 

  • Anterior Vertebral Veins
    • * Are located on the front of the vertebral bodies and run parallel to the anterior longitudinal ligament.
    • * Drain blood from the vertebral bodies and the anterior spinal cord, and then join together to form the vertebral vein.

 

  • Posterior Vertebral Veins​​​​​​​
    • * Are located on the back of the vertebral bodies and run parallel to the posterior longitudinal ligament.
    • * Drain blood from the spinal cord and the posterior spinal column, and then join together to form the vertebral vein.

 

  • Basivertebral Veins​​​​​​​
    • * Are located within the vertebral bodies themselves and drain blood from the bone marrow.
    • * These veins then join with the other components of the vertebral venous system.

 

  • Internal Vertebral Venous Plexus​​​​​​​
    • * Is a network of veins that surrounds the spinal cord and brainstem.
    • * Is located within the spinal canal and communicates with the basivertebral veins and other spinal veins.
    • * This plexus is a valveless system and provides a pathway for the spread of infections and cancer cells from the spine to other parts of the body.

 

  • External Vertebral Venous Plexus​​​​​​​
    • * Is a network of veins that is located outside the vertebral column, between the vertebrae and the deep back muscles.
    • * Communicates with the internal vertebral venous plexus and other veins in the region.
    • * This plexus is an important pathway for venous drainage from the spinal cord and other structures in the back.

 

  • Vertebral Vein​​​​​​​
    • * Runs through the transverse foramen of each cervical vertebra and then enters the foramen magnum at the base of the skull.
    • * It then joins with the internal vertebral venous plexus, and the blood can drain into the cranial venous sinuses and ultimately into the jugular veins, which carry blood back to the heart.
