Vein Brachiocephalic Left

Left brachiocephalic vein (Latin vena brachioceṕhalica sinistrá, supplies blood to the left upper limb, has tributaries and flows into the subclavian vein. From Latin brascium (brachia, -i, pluralis for pectoris; brachiocauda, ​​-ae, f; bracha, -ae f - shoulder , hand) and caeduere (caesurus), cutis ac comparata - head, therefore bilingual, and from English cephalic - head; in Russia - levtorokana vein). The brachiocephalic venous system is the upper parts of the superior vena cava from its formation from the large veins of the arm to its merger with the subclavian venous system. It is one of the components of a broader concept - the human vein system.

The brachiocephalic vein (SVC) belongs to the system of both superior and inferior vena cava. This paradoxical distinction is based primarily on the place of confluence: the superior vena cava is considered superior, and the subclan veins and semi-gypsy veins are considered the inferior vena cava.

Location of the left brachiocephalic vein. The brachiocephalic veins of the jugular group are not independent anatomical formations, being tributaries of one of the vena cava located in the chest opposite the internal organs of the same name. That is why the YRDG does not reach the right vega on the chest, but the contrast image of the left one is covered by an arc, from where the main saphenous vein of the leg (which is also a tributary of the same brachial (subclavian) vein) is clearly visible. The left brachiocephalic vein is located in the middle of the left inner surface of the inner surface of the brachiocephalic trunk. The anterior interscalene artery is adjacent to it outside and behind. Often the SVC on the right and left are “connected” with each other by venous anastomoses, which can serve as a substrate
