If an obstruction occurs in a vein, the blood cantherefore be diverted into one or more branches morereadily than in the case of the arteries ; but the encirclingof an entire limb with a tight band would obstruct thecirculation in all the vessels of that region, and induceswelling below the band.1 Fig. 69.
