Jugular vein
From Freepedia
(Redirected from Internal jugular vein)
The external and internal jugular veins are veins that bring deoxygenated blood from the head back to the heart via the superior vena cava. The internal jugular vein is formed by the anastomosis of blood from the sigmoid sinus of the dura mater and the common facial vein. In popular culture, the jugular is stereotypically what dogs and other animals are thought to go after with the intent of killing another animal.
