The left brachiocephalic vein is longer than the right brachiocephalic vein. This is because the left brachiocephalic vein has to travel a greater distance across the thorax to connect to the superior vena cava, as it crosses over the midline. In contrast, the right brachiocephalic vein is shorter and more vertical, as it is positioned closer to the superior vena cava.
Right brachiocephalic
vertebral vein, , brachiocephalic vein
left ventricle, aortic semilunar valve, ascending aorta, aoric arch, brachiocephalic artery, right subclavian artery, axillary artery, brachial artery, radial/ulnar artery, superficial palmar artery. medial vein of forearm, radial/cubital vein, basilic vein, brachial vein, axillary vein, subclavian vein, brachiocephalic vein, superior vena cava, heart (right atrium)
Here is the order it goes from right thumb to left thumb. 1. radial vein 2. brachial vein 3. axillary vein 4. left subclavian vein 5. brachiocephalic vein 6. superior vena cava 7. right atrium 8. right ventricle 9. pulmonary trunk 10. pulmonary arteries 11. lobar arteries 12. pulmonary capillaries 13. pulmonary venules 14. pulmonary veins 15. left atrium 16. left ventricle 17. aorta 18. brachiocephalic artery 19. right subclavian artery 20. axillary artery 21. brachial artery 22. radial artery
In the human, the brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the internal jugular and the subclavian vein on each side. In the cat, the brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the external jugular and the subclavian vein on each side.
Blood goes from the vena cava into the right atrium of the heart
brachiocephalic vein
After the flow of blood(oxygenated) through the brachiocephalic(jugular) artery, the brachiocephalic (jugular) vein will return the blood(de-oxygenated) back to the anterior part of the vena cava. Then, into the right auricle. Et-cetera.
It drains into the systemic (blood) circulation at the left brachiocephalic vein between the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins.
Superior vena cava.
Superior Mesenteric vein Hepatic portal vein Inferior vena cava Right heart Pulmonary artery Lungs Pulmonary vein Left heart Aorta Aortic arch Brachiocephalic artery Subclavian artery Axillary artery Brachial artery Common interosseous artery or radial artery ..... ish.
The blood travels through the digital veins, the superficial palmar veins which drain into the cephalic vein, the median cubital vein, the basilic vein, the axillary vein, the subclavian vein, the brachiocephalic vein, and the superior vena cava to go to the right atrium.
