A blood clot that blocks the popliteal vein would interfere with blood flow in which other veins?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The popliteal vein is located in the back of the knee and receives blood from smaller veins in the leg. If a blood clot blocks the popliteal vein, it would interfere with blood flow in the tibial and fibular veins, as well as the small saphenous vein which all drain into the popliteal vein. The great saphenous vein does not drain into the popliteal vein, making option E incorrect. Options A, B, and C are also incorrect as they do not directly connect to the popliteal vein.
