A distinctive style or manner; "he continued in this vein for several minutes". 3. One of the vascular bundles or ribs that form the branching framework of conducting and supporting tissues in a leaf or other plant organ. 4. A layer of ore between layers of rock. 5. One of the horny ribs that stiffen and support the wing of an insect. Verb1. Make a veinlike pattern. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |

Mining | A. An epigenetic mineral filling of a fault or other fracture in a host rock, in tabular or sheetlike form, often with associated replacement of the host rock; a mineral deposit of this form and origin. CF:lode See also:true vein b. A narrow waterway or channel in rock or earth. Also, a stream of water flowing in such a channel c. A thin, sheetlike igneous intrusion into a fissure. Not recommended usage d. A coal seam or a bed of slate or other rock. Not recommended usage e. A zone or belt of mineralized rock lying within boundaries clearly separating it from neighboring rock. It includes all deposits of mineral matter found through a mineralized zone or belt coming from the same source, impressed with the same forms and appearing to have been created by the same processes f. A mineral deposit, usually steeply inclined. Used to describe a body that is usually smaller and has better defined walls than a lode g. A rock fissure filled by intruded mineral matter. Many valuable minerals are codeposited with gangue stuff in veins. Usually the formation is steep to vertical, unlike a bedded deposit in which values are sandwiched horizontally. Vein is typically long, deep, and relatively narrow h. The term lode is commonly used synonymously for vein. i. The filling of a fissure or fault in a rock, particularly if deposited by aqueous solutions. When metalliferous, it is called by miners a lode; when filled with eruption material, a dike. A bed or shoot of ore parallel with the bedding. Also called blanket deposit j. A comparatively thin sheet of igneous rock injected into a crevice in rock. When this intrusion is large, it is called a dike. k. An irregular, sinuous, igneous injection, or a tabular body of rock formed by deposition from solutions rich in water or other volatile substances. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
An intravenous drip (IV drip or IV for short) is the infusion of fluids into a vein, intravenous meaning "within veins." It is administered in medical situations either to replace fluid or to provide easy access to the bloodstream for drugs. It is usually a bag of fluid that is gravity fed (and thus hangs above the patient).One common, cheap form of flow control is a visible drip chamber, which also removes air from administration, and lets staff observe and control the flow rate.
A bag can also be placed into an inflatable cuff so that the liquid can be pushed into the patient; as the cuff is inflated fluid is infused at a higher flow rate. This is often done with a large bore IV, meaning that the cannula needle that is inserted into the patient´s vein is of a large diameter allowing a high flow rate.
Another method is to use an infusion pump. Infusion pumps allow control over the rate and volume of fluid to be given and are recommended in any case where fine control over intravenous fluids is necessary.
Intravenous fluids are used in a great variety of medical conditions, ranging from dehydration (loss of water) to electrolyte imbalances and acute or chronic blood loss.
Beside blood transfusion and intravenous drugs, there are essentially two types of fluids that are used for intravenous drips: crystalloid and colloid fluids. "Crystalloids" are aqueous solutions of mineral salts such as isotonic saline or Ringer´s solution. "Colloids" are solutions of larger molecules such as gelatine.
IV drips have a number of hazards. More than about 30ml of air can lead to a large air embolism clogging up the pulmonary circulation bringing overall circulation to a stop. In addition, if there exists a defect in the heart with a right to left shunt, smaller amounts of air (as little as 2 ml) can cause an air embolus in the systemic circulation. An "air embolism" of this sort is famously difficult to diagnose because it can cause so many different types of symptoms. A drip placed lower than the patient can cause reverse flow, literally siphoning the bood from a patient. A nonsterile (i.e. reused) administration set can lead to phlebitis, or worse, systemic septicemia. Finally, an unmeasured flow can be to a collapsed vein, or the tip of the cannula can leave the vein, causing a failure to infuse, or localized edema.
Note that an intravenous drip is a sterile medical procedure that should only be performed by trained personnel under medical supervision, using proper equipment.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In biology, a vein is a blood vessel which carries blood to the heart. Veins form part of the circulatory system. The vessels carrying blood away from the heart are known as arteries.In systemic circulation de-oxygenated blood from the capillary blood vessels is taken by veins to the right part of the heart. Differently, in the pulmonary circulation oxygenated blood from the lungs is taken to the left part of the heart by pulmonary veins. Another special case is portal circulation where the portal vein transports blood rich in products of digestion from the intestines to the liver.
Names of important veins:
Veins are used medically as access to the blood stream, permitting the withdrawal of blood specimens (venipuncture) for testing purposes, and enabling the infusion of fluid, electrolytes, nutrition, and medications. The latter is called intravenous delivery. It can be done by an injection with a syringe, or by inserting a catheter (a flexible tube).
- Pulmonary veins
- Portal vein
- Superior vena cava
- Inferior vena cava
- Femoral vein
If an intravenous catheter has to be inserted, for most purposes this is done into a peripheral vein (a vein near the surface of the skin in the hand or arm, or less desirably, the leg.) Some highly concentrated fluids or irritating medications must flow into the large central veins, which are sometimes used when peripheral access cannot be obtained. Catheters can be threaded into the superior vena cava for these uses: if long term use is thought to be needed, a more permanent access point can be inserted surgically.
The precise location of veins is much more variable from person to person than that of arteries.
