What is a venal blood?

Venal blood refers to blood that is collected from a vein. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from the body's tissues and organs back to the heart. They are usually located near the surface of the skin and are accessible for blood collection.

Venal blood is typically collected for medical tests, such as complete blood counts, blood chemistry panels, and serology tests. It can also be collected for blood transfusions and other medical procedures.

The process of collecting venal blood is called venipuncture. It involves inserting a needle into a vein and withdrawing a sample of blood into a collection tube. Venipuncture is a routine procedure that is typically performed by a healthcare professional, such as a phlebotomist or nurse.
