Q

The dural venous sinuses drain blood from the cranial bones, meninges, and brain. The R&L internal jugular veins pass inferiorly on either side of the neck lateral to the internal carotid and common carotid arteries. They then unite with the subclavian veins to form the R&L brachiocephalic veins. From here, blood flows into the SVC.

General structures drained:
 Brain (through the dural venous sinuses)
 Face & neck

A

Internal Jugular Veins

161
Q

The R&L EJV empty into the subclavian veins.

General structures drained are external to the cranium:
 Scalp
 Superficial and deep regions of the face

A

External Jugular Veins

162
