单词 vein
释义
vein

Biology
  • 1. A blood vessel that carries blood towards the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood (the pulmonary vein is an exception). The largest veins are fed by smaller ones, which are formed by the merger of venules. Veins have thin walls and a relatively large internal diameter. Valves within the veins ensure that the flow of blood is always towards the heart. Compare artery.

    2. A vascular bundle in a leaf (see venation).

    3. Any of the tubes of chitin that strengthen an insect’s wing.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A tabular deposit of minerals occupying a fracture, in which particles may grow away from the walls toward the middle.
