Explanation / Answer

a)External iliac vein-> 6)fuses with the internal iliac vein to form the common iliac vein

because external and internal ilian veins form the common iliac vein

b)brachial vein->4)drains the radial and ulnar veins

because brachial vein drains the radial and ulnar veins to form the auxillary vein.

c)Popliteal vein->2)drains the anterior and posterior tibial veins

because popliteal vein is formed with the junction of the venae of both anterior and posterior veins.

d)Great Saphenous vein->7)is the longest vein in the body

because great saphenous vein is the longest vein running along the length of the lower limb.

e)Subclavian vein->9)empties directly into the internal jugular vein

because subclavian vein joins the internal jugular vein to form bracheocephalic vein

f)Radial vein->5)empties directly into the brachiocephalic vein

because radial veins combine with ulnal veins to form bracheocephalic vein

g)anterior tibial vein->8)drains the ankle and foot

because anterior tibial vein drains the ankle,knee joint, tibiofubular , foot.

h)dural sinuses->1)empties directly into the inferior vena cava

because dural sinuses drain the blood into cranial cavity emptying it into the inderior vena cava

i)renal vein->drains the superficial palmar arch

because renal vein ends into te superficial plmar arch to ensure blood is emptied completely.
