In the event of errors in their functioning, and develops quam varices. The valves are closed, preventing the flow of blood to the heart, causing it to stagnate in the veins. Of course, increases the pressure and pushes blood from the deep veins in the thicker thinner closer to the skin, the blood vessels. The system of these veins is not adjusted nodular blood volume, as a result of their walls are not only excessive stretch, but more and destroyed.
