Small Veins, Big Impact

Small Veins, Big ImpactHuman physiology is a very amazing thing, as it shows the interrelation between delicate connections which allow for feats of strength, endurance, and living life to the fullest. The circulatory system is prominently fascinating, as this network of vessels exemplifies the circle of life within the human body. As larger vessels carry the brunt of the circulation, capillary networks are also highly important, since these delicate interchanges ensure that oxygenated and non-oxygenated blood is always going in the right direction.

For many individuals, their relationship with capillaries only becomes evident once they become visible as spider veins. This occurrence happens when the delicate walls of the vessels rupture and blood pooling causes discoloration. The appearance may be even more prominent because many capillary matrices are close to the surface of the skin.
