Carry blood from the head to the brachiocephalic veins located on either side of the trachea.

The second set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava, medially.
These veins carry blood from the head to the brachiocephalic veins.
External Jugular Veins
Third vessels to emerge from cranial vena cava medially. These veins carry blood from the forelimb to the brachiocephalic veins
Cephalic Veins
The fourth set of vessels to emerge from the cranial vena cava. Veins carry blood from the subscapular veins and axillary veins to the brachiocephalic veins
Subclavian Veins
These veins carry blood from the forelimbs and join with the subscapular veins to form the subclavian vein
Axillary Veins
These veins carry blood from the region of the armpit and join with the axillary vein to form the subclavian vein
Subscapular Veins
