Solution

The abdominal and thoracic walls are drained by tributaries of two major veins: the superior vena cava vein and the inferior vena cava vein.

The superior vena cava collects blood from the upper part of the body, including the thorax, and drains it into the right atrium of the heart. The inferior vena cava, on the other hand, collects blood from the lower part of the body and also drains into the right atrium. These veins are crucial for returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart for reoxygenation through the lungs.
