'''Digital veins''' are satellite to the arteries down to and into the distal phalanx, but not all the branching arteries are accompanied by veins. There is a dense '''venous plexus''' in the coronary and laminar dermis of the sole which drains into the '''medial and lateral digital veins''' via many smaller veins. Most of these veins lie subcutaneously, just proximal to the hoof, others run directly to the digital veins from the axial surface of the ungual cartilages.
