Text-book of anatomy and physiology for nurses. in the superficial fascia, gather-ing blood from skin and fascia, and many of them are called cutane- \T c it- J ] Fig. 1^4.—The Popliteal Artery. ous.

Deep.—From the deep face and cranial cavity; they emptyinto the internal jugular vein (Figs. 121, 127). The internal jugular is a continuation of the transverse sinus,(a venous channel inside the skull, which ends at the jugular fora-men). This vein lies on the lateral side of the internal carotidartery in the upper part of the neck, and further down at the sideof the common carotid artery, with the vagus nerve between andbehind them. It ends by uniting with the subclavian Fig. 135.—Deep Arteries in Sole of , Internal plantar; 2, external plantar (Holden). Superficial.—From the scalp, ear, and face, bearing the namesof the arteries (usually); they empty into the external jugular opens into the subclavian. There are many veins in the spongy bone between the compact layers ofcranial bones, and these communicate by emissary veins with the sinuses andalso with the scalp veins. Principal Veins of the Upper Extremity. Deep.—^From the hand and wrist; they form ulnar and radialveins (running with arteries of the same name) which unite to formbrachial veins. The brachial veins in turn unite to form the axillary, and theaxillary becomes subclavian. The external jugular vein empties into the subclavian at about the middle ofthe clavicula. It is easily seen through the platysma muscle. Superficial.—From fore arm; groups of veins,both anterior andposterior, form two, called the basilic and cephali
