Veins of the Neck Transverse

The veins of the neck, in particular the transverse vein, play an important role in maintaining human life and well-being. They carry blood from the head and brain to other parts of the body and back. In addition, they help maintain the normal functioning of the muscles and tissues of the neck.

The transverse veins are a group of veins that are found in the middle cervical region. They form several groups and are connected to each other through lateral or median veins. The veins are divided into cervical transverse veins of the external and internal venous circulation.

The external lateral veins are located in the lower sixth cervical segment, and the internal medial veins are located in the upper sixth cervical segment. They connect to the vena cava and subclavian veins. The external lateral veins convey blood to the right jugular trunk, and the superior internal medial veins transmit it to the right main trunk, which disappears under the name of the internal jugular vein. The main task of the transverse veins of the neck is to ensure proper blood circulation in the body, avoiding excessive stagnation, which can lead to poor circulation and even blood clots. Without good work of the transverse neck muscles, the veins are unable to push blood to the lower extremities, so capillary circulation is disrupted and tissues may die. Regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle will help avoid problems with veins, muscles and general well-being. Disruption of the normal functions of the neck veins can have negative effects on a person's health, including the risk of developing diseases such as hypertension, stroke and other cardiovascular pathologies. The importance of proper functioning of the transverse vessels of the neck is of particular importance for athletes, since intense physical activity requires proper blood supply for the normal function of tissues and organs.
