The brachiocephalic vein drains blood into the superior vena cava. It is formed by the union of the internal jugular vein and the subclavian vein on each side of the body. The left and right brachiocephalic veins collect blood from the head, neck, and upper limbs before emptying into the superior vena cava, which then delivers the blood to the heart.
