The Longest Vein in the Body is the ________

Question

The longest vein in the body is the ________.
A) small saphenous vein
B) great saphenous vein
C) femoral vein
D) cephalic vein
E) sartorius vein

Accepted Answer

The great saphenous vein is the longest vein in the body, running from the foot all the way up to the groin. The small saphenous vein and the femoral vein are also important veins in the leg, but they are not as long as the great saphenous vein. The cephalic vein runs in the arm, and the sartorius vein is a small vein that runs alongside the sartorius muscle in the leg.
