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.
