: : 11. The great saphenous vein is the longest vein of the body? True. The course is as follows: arises from the dorsal venous arch, anterior passes over medial mallelous, passes over the posterior side of the medial condyle of the femur, then proceeds anterolaterally to dive deep through the cribiform fascia at the saphenous opening.
