A member asked:
Why is medicine injected in the venous tube and not the arterial tube?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because...: You want the medicine to go throughout the body. If you inject into a vein then the medicine travels towards the heart or the central circulation where the medicine is then distributed throughout the body. It can also be quite painful injecting into an artery.
