[Po-dev] RE: Peripheral vein vs tertiary vein or high order vein

Question comes back to how we differentiate the fused/non-fused terminal 
ends of the higher order veins present in the periphery [see Jose Manuel 
response] and do we really want it? Also going by your, Peter and 
Maria's suggestion, I think in that case instead of Brochidromous vein 
we need peripheral vein as a new parent term with two children namely 
submarginal and intramarginal veins.

Can you help us with the definitions?
