When was the last time you thought about your veins? Maybe when you gave blood? And yet they are an important part of the vascular system that keeps us healthy-day in and day out-whether we think about it or not. Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart and into the lungs to be replenished with the oxygen and nutrients the body needs to function and stay healthy.

For the blood to get to the heart from the legs it must travel upwards, against gravity. It does this with the aid of the veins and the muscle that surrounds them. When we stand and/or walk, the muscles contract, squeezing the veins and pushing the blood toward the heart through a system of valves. When we sit or at rest, the muscles relax and valves within the veins close to prevent blood from flowing back into the legs and feet.

the vast majority of our blood returns to the heart by way of the deep veins-veins that are located deep within the body. The other two types of veins are superficial and connecting. Superficial veins are the ones you can see through your skin. They carry blood from tissue nearer to the surface of your skin to the deep veins where the blood flows to the heart. Connecting veins carry blood from the superficial veins to the deep veins.

Unfortunately, our veins can also develop issues. The following chart describes the most common vein problems that can occur in the legs. Some are more serious than others, but all are worth discussing with your doctor.
