Do all humans have the same number of veins and arteries? If so, how does the body know how many and where to make these veins and arteries?
In: Biology
There are some veins in the inner side of the elbow that sometimes differ. The medial cubital and medial antebrachial veins. I don’t remember the exact ways (there are 5 or 6 ways of which 2 are common), but I know in some cases there’s a vein missing or just very underdeveloped. I remember this because my one arm doesn’t have one of the veins but the other does. It always frustrates doctors when they try to put an IV in.
My sister told me recently that women, or was it men, have extra veins in their arms and legs. Sorry I gave you no info here, just some shit my sister said lol
My mom (NP) told me that older people are able to withstand heart attacks better than younger people because their bodies created more arteries or veins to pass though over time;
I kinda paraphrased this but someone correct me if I’m wrong haha
I remembered! My sister told me babies have extra veins in their arms and legs. Again, not fact checked
