Explanation

"Veins of the foot" refers to the network of blood vessels in the foot that carry blood back to the heart. These veins work against gravity, especially when we're standing or walking, to push the blood upwards. They are an essential part of the circulatory system, helping to keep blood flowing throughout the body. The veins in the foot can sometimes be seen just under the skin, especially in people with less fatty tissue.
