  2. External jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_jugular_vein

    This vein receives the occipital occasionally, the posterior external jugular, and, near its termination, the transverse cervical, transverse scapular, and anterior jugular veins; in the substance of the parotid, a large branch of communication from the internal jugular joins it. The external jugular vein drains into the subclavian vein lateral ...

  3. Jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_vein

    The left and right external jugular veins drain into the subclavian veins. The internal jugular veins join with the subclavian veins more medially to form the brachiocephalic veins. Finally, the left and right brachiocephalic veins join to form the superior vena cava, which delivers deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart. [2] The ...

  4. Jugular venous arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_venous_arch

    Just above the sternum the two anterior jugular veins communicate by a transverse trunk, the jugular venous arch (or venous jugular arch), which receive tributaries from the inferior thyroid veins; each also communicates with the internal jugular. There are no valves in this vein.

  5. Anterior jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_jugular_vein

    Its tributaries are some laryngeal veins, and occasionally a small thyroid vein. [1] It descends between the median line and the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle , and, at the lower part of the neck, passes beneath that muscle to open into the termination of the external jugular vein , or, in some instances, into the subclavian ...

  6. Superficial lateral cervical lymph nodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficial_lateral...

    The superficial lateral cervical lymph nodes are found along the course of the external jugular vein, between the inferior aspect of the parotid gland and the supraclavicular nodes. The nodes are intercalated along the course of the vessels draining the parotid nodes and the infraauricular nodes.

  7. Sigmoid sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_sinus

    The sigmoid sinus is a dural venous sinus situated within the dura mater.The sigmoid sinus receives blood from the transverse sinuses, which track the posterior wall of the cranial cavity, travels inferiorly along the parietal bone, temporal bone and occipital bone, and converges with the inferior petrosal sinuses to form the internal jugular vein.

  8. Posterior external jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Posterior_external_jugular_vein

    The posterior external jugular vein begins in the occipital region and returns the blood from the skin and superficial muscles in the upper and back part of the neck, lying between the splenius and trapezius. It runs down the back part of the neck, and opens into the external jugular vein just below the middle of its course.

  9. Cavernous sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavernous_sinus

    As a venous sinus, the cavernous sinus receives blood from the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins and from superficial cortical veins, and is connected to the basilar plexus of veins posteriorly. The cavernous sinus drains by two larger channels, the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses , ultimately into the internal jugular vein via the ...
