The vertebral column requires an adequate blood supply in order to meet its supportive and other important functions,

It is drained by plexuses (networks) of veins. These venous plexuses are formed by spinal veins along the vertebral column, both inside and outside the vertebral canal.

The plexuses include the:

Internal vertebral venous plexus (or the epidural venous plexus)
External vertebral venous plexus

Another important group of veins of the vertebral column are the intervertebral veins. They receive blood from the veins of the spinal cord and internal vertebral venous plexuses as they accompany the spinal nerves through the intervertebral foramina.

In the full version of this tutorial we will take a close look at the veins of the vertebral column and cover the following aspects:

parts of the vertebrae
vertebral venous plexuses
internal vertebral venous plexus
external vertebral venous plexus
intervertebral veins
basivertebral veins
ascending lumbar vein
clinical notes: ascites
