How many veins are in the body?

Question

How many veins are in the body?

Answer 1

No two people are the same, h**l your own body is different, look at  your hands you will see the veins and capillaries in each are not the same.It's impossible to tell.

Answer 2

There's no way to answer that question--not all veins are named, and as you get further and further from the main branches they tend to vary in different people anyway.

In one sense, you could argue that there's only one:  the vena cava.  Everything else is just coming together to form it.  *g*  Anyway, it's all interconnected, so "how many" or what we call them is largely an artificial construct that helps us remember where the main ones run and what organs/areas they collect blood from.
