Nasofrontal Vein
The Nasofrontal Vein (pronunciation: /ˌneɪzoʊˈfrʌntəl veɪn/) is a significant vein in the human body that is primarily involved in the venous drainage of the nose and forehead region.
Etymology
The term "Nasofrontal" is derived from two Latin words: "Naso," meaning nose, and "Frontalis," meaning forehead. The term "vein" comes from the Latin word "vena," which means blood vessel.
