• Common Femoral Vein

• Vein that GSV empties into at the saphenofemoral junction.

• Femoral Vein

• Primary vein of the thigh that is a continuation of the popliteal vein and accompanies the femoral artery in the upper portion of its course.

• Popliteal Vein

• Vein formed where the anterior and posterior tibial veins join, which ascends through the popliteal space to the thigh where it becomes the femoral vein.

• Tibial Vein

• Veins that accompany the corresponding tibial arteries, which united to form the popliteal vein.
