|
SUBCLAVIAN VEIN
|
F. Subclavian vein: receives the external jugular vein which, in turn, receives
the suprascapular and transverse cervical veins; the vertebral, internal tho- racic, inferior thyroid, and deep cervical veins drain into the brachiocepha- lic vein |

DEEP CERVICAL NODES
|
G. Lymphatics
1. Deep cervical nodes: located within and around the carotid sheath and receive lymphatic drainage from the head and neck via submental, sub- mandibular, retropharyngeal, occipital, retroauricular, superficial and deep parotid, and superficial cervical nodes; inferiorly, they drain into the jugular lymphatic trunk |
|
SUPERFICIAL CERVICAL NODES
|
G. Lymphatics
2. Superficial cervical nodes: lie along the external jugular vein; receive lymphatic drainage from occipital, retroauricular, and superficial and deep parotid nodes, and drain to deep cervical nodes |
|
THORACIC DUCT
|
3. Thoracic duct: courses laterally, anterior to the left vertebral artery, and empties into the angle of junction ofthe left subclavian and left internal
jugular veins; near its termination it receives the left jugular, left sub- clavian, and left bronchomediastinal trunks |
