Definitions

1. The internal jugular vein is formed by the anastomosis of blood from the sigmoid sinus of the dura mater and the common facial vein. (Web site)

Arrow

1. A vascular sheath is introduced through the right internal jugular vein, with its tip (arrow) wedged in a small venous tributary to the right hepatic vein.

Superior

1. The superior and middle thyroid veins drain into the internal jugular vein. (Web site)

Neck

1. For transjugular biopsy, a thin tube called a catheter is inserted into the internal jugular vein in your neck.

Skull Base

1. It may even enter the internal jugular vein below the skull base.

Lateral Aspect

1. The junction of the inferior petrosal sinus with the internal jugular vein takes place on the lateral aspect of the nerves. (Web site)

Cavernous Sinus

1. It drains from the cavernous sinus (beneath the brain) to the sigmoid sinuses above the internal jugular vein. (Web site)
2. The cavernous sinus drains by two channels, the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses, ultimately into the internal jugular vein. (Web site)

Femoral Vein

1. This is done through radiologically guided catheters which are passed into the hepatic vein either through the internal jugular vein or the femoral vein. (Web site)

Lymph

1. The lymphatic duct carries lymph to the right subclavian vein and also joins it near the junction with the internal jugular vein. (Web site)

Carotid Artery

1. Neck ultrasound showing an 8-mm lymph node metastasis posterior to the carotid artery and internal jugular vein (arrow). (Web site)

Vagus

1. The artery is deep and medial to the internal jugular vein and the vagus is posterior to the carotid artery.
2. The deep surface is in contact with the internal and external carotid arteries, the internal jugular vein, and the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves. (Web site)

Accessory Nerve

1. The superior deep cervical lymph nodes lie under the Sternocleidomastoideus in close relation with the accessory nerve and the internal jugular vein.

Blood

1. The internal jugular vein collects the blood from the brain, from the superficial parts of the face, and from the neck.
2. These specially designed dual lumen cannulas, inserted in the right internal jugular vein, permit both drainage and reinfusion of blood.

Superior Vena Cava

1. There is a functional valve at the junction of the internal jugular vein and the superior vena cava. (Web site)
2. The right internal jugular vein communicates directly with the right atrium via the superior vena cava. (Web site)

Thoracic Duct

1. The thoracic duct, which carries lymph, joins the left subclavian near the junction with the internal jugular vein. (Web site)
2. The thoracic duct communicates with the central venous system in the neck at the junction of the left subclavian and internal jugular vein.
3. The thoracic duct drains into the left subclavian vein, near its junction with the left internal jugular vein.

Vein

1. Labeled structures include the left subclavian artery and vein, internal jugular vein, carotid artery, aortic arch, ventricle, atrial auricle, and lungs.

Carotid Sheath

1. The ansa cervicalis lies lateral to the internal jugular vein and the carotid sheath.

Vagus Nerve

1. The carotid sheath (choice A) contains the vagus nerve, internal jugular vein, carotid artery, and lymph nodes. (Web site)
2. The carotid artery lies medial to the internal jugular vein, and the vagus nerve is situated posteriorly between the two vessels. (Web site)

Skull

1. At the base of the skull the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, and hypoglossal nerves lie between the artery and the internal jugular vein. (Web site)
2. It is here at the base of the skull that the internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein go their separate ways.

Jugular Foramen

1. The jugular foramen, located between the temporal and occipital bones, allows the internal jugular vein (which drains blood from the brain) to exit. (Web site)
2. The jugular foramen admits the internal jugular vein and five nerves (three cranial, the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory).
3. Lateral to the jugular foramen, we have the jugular fossa for the internal jugular vein. (Web site)

Common Carotid Artery

1. Veins. —The surface marking for the internal jugular vein is slightly lateral and parallel to that for the common carotid artery. (Web site)

Internal Carotid Artery

1. In this space, the internal carotid artery, the internal jugular vein, the facial, glossopharyngeal, vagus, and hypoglossal nerves are located. (Web site)
2. In its passage through the jugular foramen it passes between the internal jugular vein and internal carotid artery. (Web site)
3. The nerve passes laterally and inferiorly between the internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein. (Web site)

Internal Jugular Vein

1. The carotid sheath contains the common carotid artery, internal jugular vein and vagus nerve (Clemente plate 452; Grant p.
2. The middle thyroid vein, which overlies the inferior thyroid artery, also ends in the internal jugular vein after crossing the common carotid artery. (Web site)
3. Lateral to the artery, inside the carotid sheath with the common carotid, are the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve. (Web site)
