The veins are the vessels which return the blood to theauricles of the heart, after it has been circulated by thearteries through the various tissues of the body. They arethinner in structure than the arteries, so that when emptiedof their blood they become flattened and collapsed. Theveins of the systemic circulation convey the dark-colored andimpure or venous blood from the capillary system to the rightauricle of the heart. They ar
