Inferior Vena Cava
Topography of the Inferior Vena Cava
Largest Vein of the Human Body
Collects blood from the lower half of the body
No valves
Lies on the right side of the Abdominal Aorta
Forms the right sagittal groove ont he liver
Goes through the caval opening (diaphragm)

Visceral Tributaries
Right Hepatic Vein, Intermediate Hepatic Vein, Left Hepatic Vein (venae hepaticae)
Right Suprarenal Vein (vena suprarenalis dextra)
Left Renal Vein (vena renalis sinister)
○ Left Suprarenal Vein (vena suprarenalis sinister)
○ Left Testicular Vein (vena testicularis sinistra)
○ Left Ovarian Vein (vena ovarica sinistra)
Right Renal Vein (vena renalis dexter)
Right Ovarian Vein (vena ovarica dextra)
Right Testicular Vein (vena testicularis dextra)
Genital branches drain the pampiniform plexus (plexus pampiniformis)

Parietal Tributaries
Lumbar Veins (venae lumbales)
○ Communicate with: External and Internal Vertebral Venous Plexuses (plexus venosus vertebralis externus et internus) and the Ascending lumbar veins (vena lumbalis ascendens)
Inferior Phrenic Veins (venae phrenicae Inferiores)
