Veins cavas
Veins cavas are the two major veins of the body. There is a superior or descending vena cava, which receives blood from the upper half of the body, and a lower or ascending vein, which collects blood from the organs below the diaphragm. Both flow into the right atrium of the heart. In Veterinary Medicine In veterinary medicine, the superior and inferior vena cava are called the cava vena cava and caudal vena cava, respectively, since the vast majority of mammals are quadrupeds and the spatial arrangement of these veins is different from that of the beings humans. In the latter, the cava veins become 3 cm in diameter.
