Jugular Vein

Jugular vein …

The jugular vein is a crucial blood vessel in the human body, responsible for returning deoxygenated blood from the head back to the heart. There are two main jugular veins on each side of the neck, known as the internal jugular vein and the external jugular vein. The external jugular vein is more superficial and visible, running diagonally across the neck, while the internal jugular vein lies deeper within the neck and is less visible. These veins play a significant role in maintaining proper blood circulation throughout the body.
