What is the name of the deep vein in the legs?

  1. Lesser Saphenous vein

  2. Peripheral vein

  3. Great Saphenous vein

  4. Femoral vein

The correct answer is: Great Saphenous vein

The Great Saphenous vein is the longest superficial vein in the human body and runs along the entire length of the leg. While the Lesser Saphenous and Femoral veins are also located in the legs, they are not considered deep veins like the Great Saphenous vein. The Peripheral vein is a term used to describe veins outside of the central circulation, and does not specifically refer to a vein in the legs. Therefore, the Great Saphenous vein is the most accurate and specific answer choice for the question.
