There are two sets of veins: the external and internal jugular veins that bring deoxygenated blood from the head back to the heart via the superior vena cava. There is also another, minor, jugular vein, the anterior jugular vein, draining the submaxillary region.
The Juglar Vein brings blood from the head area to the Superior Vena Cava, which then enters the Right Atrium.
The carotid artery supplies the head with blood and the jugular vein returns it to the heart.
Blood is returned to the heart via the veins. Some of the main veins are: Jugular veins (from head) Pulmonary veins (from lungs) Portal vein Azygos vein Superior vena cava Inferior vena cava Iliac vein Femoral vein (from legs) Popliteal vein Great saphenous vein Small saphenous
Pulmonary vein
superior mesenteric vein
The butt and the crap hole
Jugular vein
The carotid artery takes blood from the heart up the neck, to our brain. The jugular vein returns blood from the head to the heart.
The carotid artery takes blood from the heart up the neck, to our brain. The jugular vein returns blood from the head to the heart.
The chief vein that carries blood from the head to the heart is the jugular vein. It is easily found at the anterolateral neck.
Blood from the brain returns through the superior vena cava to the right atrium of the heart.For further clarification go to blood-circulationfor a diagram. It's about half way down the page.
For the most part the carotid arteries (to the head) and the jugular vein (from the head).
