Q

How does chronic venous insufficiency lead to venous ulceration?

A

Blood vessels become damaged due to increased venous pressure, the skin becomes dry and inflamed, skin cannot heal well due to poor blood supply so skin begins to break down

Q

What are the deep veins?

A

Larger and thicker veins that run deep to deep fascia

44
Q

Describe the pathway of superficial lymphatics that follow the basilic vein
