Which three pairs of veins drain the majority of blood from the head and neck?
1) internal jugular 2) external jugular 3) vertebral vein
Where is the jugular vein located on the wrist?
The jugular vein is not located on the wrist; it is primarily found in the neck. There are two main jugular veins on each side of the neck: the internal and external jugular veins, which drain blood from the head and neck back to the heart. If you're looking for major veins in the wrist, you would be referring to the radial and ulnar veins.
What veins drain the areas supplied by the carotid artery?
The areas supplied by the carotid artery are primarily drained by the internal jugular vein and the external jugular vein. The internal jugular vein collects blood from the brain, face, and neck, while the external jugular vein drains the superficial structures of the head and neck. Additionally, smaller veins such as the facial vein and the thyroid veins also contribute to draining regions supplied by the carotid artery.
What is the function of the jugular veins?
To drain blood from the cranium into the subclavian veins into the superior vena cava into the right atrium of the heart.
What is the function of the external and internal jugular veins?
the jugulars carry blood from the head and neck to the heart. Internal refers to the location in which it sits in relation to the other jugular veins
Compare the relative sizes of the external and internal jugular veins of the fetal pig with those of the human?
The external jugular veins in fetal pigs are relatively larger compared to humans, as pigs have a more prominent external jugular vein. In contrast, the internal jugular veins in pigs and humans are more comparable in terms of size. The anatomical differences between the two species may account for these variations.
Venous drainage of head and neck?
Facial,occipital,superficial temporal,retromandibular,posterior auricular,internal jugular,external jugular veins
How do the relative size of the external and internal jugular veins differ in humans and the cat?
In humans there is one external and one internal jugular vein. The internal jugular vein is much larger (about twice the diameter) of the external jugular. In the cat there are a pair of each vein but the external jugular vein is about twce as large as the internal. (Opposite of humans.)
Does oxgyen rech the brain through the internal jagular vein?
No, the jugular veins drain deoxygenated blood from the head. The internal and external carotid arteries carry blood to the brain.
What is the vein that drains the area supplied by the carotid artery?
jugular veins...internal and external
What veins drain blood from the brain?
The Internal Jugular drains the brain via the collection of blood from the superior sagittal sinus, inferior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, right transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus, and cavernous sinus (to name a few).....The other jugular....The External Jugular drains the occipital, facial (also drained by internal jugular), maxillary, and temporal veins.
Compare the relative sizes of the external and internal jugular veins of the fetal pig with those of the human.?
The relative sizes of the external and internal jugular veins of a fetal pig and a fetal human are relatively the same size. This finding is similar in all mammals.
