Which vein arises from the dorsal venous network of the foot?

• A. Popliteal vein
• B. Great Saphenous vein
• C. Cephalic vein
• D. Femoral vein

Answer: (B)

The dorsal venous network on the dorsum of the foot feeds into the great saphenous vein. From the dorsal arch, blood typically flows medially to form the great saphenous vein, which then ascends along the medial leg to join the femoral vein. The other options don’t originate from that foot network: the cephalic vein is in the upper limb, while the popliteal and femoral veins are deeper venous structures and not directly arising from the dorsal foot network. So, the vein arising from the dorsal venous network of the foot is the great saphenous vein.
