Peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves in your toes, feet, legs, hands, and arms. Peripheral neuropathy may also cause muscle weakness and loss of reflexes, especially at the ankle, leading to changes in the way a person walks. Foot deformities, such as hammertoes and the collapse of the midfoot, may occur.
Your blood is pumped around by the heart which is the main function in your circulatory system. The heart sends blood through your blood vessels. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, lymph, blood, and the lymphatic vessels and glands.
In the circulatory system, veins (from the Latin vena) are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart.In contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin.ost veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
