Summary Introduction

To review:

The general region from which internal jugular, vertebral, and external jugular veins drain blood and carry it to the heart.

Introduction:

In the systemic circulatory system, the oxygen-rich blood is carried out from the heart's left ventricle and supplied to the body parts via arteries. Veins of the body are responsible for carrying out the deoxygenated blood to the heart's right atrium. From there, it is transferred to the lungs to regenerate oxygenated blood.
