MediHealth - Vein
Veins are tube-shaped blood vessels. They carry blood back towards your heart from the capillaries in the rest of your body. The blood in veins contains no oxygen (it is deoxygenated), because it has dropped it off at its destinations in your body. When you have Injections, they are often given in your veins.
