Ans. is 'b' i.e., Runs on lateral side of leg Sho saphanous vein runs in the back (posteriorly) of leg (not laterally). Sho saphanous vein It is formed by union of the lateral end of the dorsal venous arch with the lateral marginal vein. It enters the back of leg by passing behind the lateral malleolus and is accompanied by sural nerve. In leg it ascends lateral to tendocalcaneous (tendoachillis). Thus tendoachillis is medial to vein. It usually has 7-13 valves. It terminates into the popliteal vein. It is connected with peroneal vein through the lateral ankle perforators.
