Sinuses

Question 1

What is the pathway from the Superior Sagittal Sinus to the Internal Jugular Vein?

Answer 1

Superior Sagittal Sinus ➡️ Transverse ➡️ Sigmoid ➡️ IJV

Question 2

What is the pathway from the Inferior Sagittal Sinus to the Internal Jugular Vein?

Answer 2

Inferior Sagittal Sinus ➡️ Straight Sinus ➡️ Transverse Sinus ➡️ Sigmoid ➡️ Internal Jugular Vein

Question 3

What is the difference in pathways to the IJV between the Superior Sagittal Sinus and the Inferior Sagittal Sinus?

Answer 3

The Superior Sagittal Sinus goes directly to the Transverse sinus whereas the Inferior Sagittal Sinus goes to the Straight Sinus then the Transverse Sinus

Question 4
