Study Notes
Venous Drainage of the Head and Neck
- The drainage of blood from the head and neck begins at the superior vena cava, which carries blood from the head and neck to the right atrium of the heart.
- The superior vena cava receives blood from the right and left internal and external jugular veins, as well as the vertebral veins.
- The vertebral veins drain blood from the spinal cord and vertebral muscles.
- The internal and external jugular veins drain blood from the brain, skull, oral cavity, and superficial structures of the face and neck.
- The external jugular vein has multiple branches that drain areas in the face and neck, and it is formed from the posterior retromandibular, posterior auricular, transversal cervical, suprascapular, and anterior jugular veins.
- The posterior retromandibular vein is formed from the superficial temporal vein and the maxillary vein.
- The superficial temporal vein drains blood from the scalp.
- The internal jugular vein has many tributaries, these are the common facial vein, the lingual vein, the superior thyroid vein, the middle thyroid vein, the pharyngeal venous plexus, the inferior petrosal sinus, the vein of the cochlear duct, and the meningeal veins.
- The inferior petrosal sinus drains large parts of the brain and inner ear.
- The common facial vein is formed from the facial vein and the anterior retromandibular vein, and it drains the forehead, eyelids, outer surface of the nose, lips, submental region, masseter, parotid gland, and soft palate.
Pneumonics
- PAST for the branches of the external jugular vein: Posterior External Jugular, Anterior Jugular, Suprascapular, Transverse Cervical
- MSLC-PI for the tributaries of the internal jugular vein: Middle Thyroid, Superior Thyroid, Lingual, Common Facial, Pharyngeal, Inferior Petrosal Sinus
Why is this relevant for Dentistry?
- Dental procedures are performed in a very complex area, potentially involving sharp objects.
- Knowledge of blood supply helps dentists avoid important vessels and identify deviations from normal anatomy.
