The jugular vein has a superficial and deep branch, the internal and external branches, respectively. Elevated pressure in the vessels can cause them to appear more distinct than usual. Some possible causes include straining for any reason, standing on your head or hanging upside down, and more serious causes including heart attacks, blood clots in the large veins in your chest, lung tumors, and congestive heart failure. Also, some people's veins are just more prominent than others'.
