Vein of the Neck Superficial Vertical

The superficial vertical vein of the neck (v. superficialis colli verticalis) is one of many vessels that pass through the neck and provide blood supply to the head and upper body. It is a branch of the superficial vein of the neck, which in turn is a branch of the external jugular vein.

The superficial vertical vein is located on the anterior surface of the neck, at the level of the upper edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Its length is about 1.5 cm. The superficial vertical vein has many branches that are distributed over various areas of the head and neck. It delivers blood to the scalp, ear, facial area, as well as to the neck muscles and ligaments.

One of the main functions of the superficial vertical vein is to ensure the outflow of blood from the skin of the head and neck, preventing the formation of edema and venous insufficiency. In addition, it plays an important role in regulating body temperature as it delivers blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to the brain and upper extremities.

An important point is that the superficial vertical vein can be susceptible to various diseases and damage, such as injuries, infections, tumors, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the condition of this vein and, if necessary, carry out treatment. One treatment option may be the use of special compression bandages, which help improve blood circulation and prevent swelling.

Thus, the superficial vertical vein is an important vessel that provides blood supply to the head, neck and upper body, and also plays an important role in maintaining health and normal body function.



The superficial horizontal vein of the neck is one of the most important veins passing through the neck. It belongs to the internal veins and plays a key role in blood circulation.

The superficial horizontal veins of the neck emerge from the back through the cervical vertebrae, and then pass along the back of the neck and rise vertically upward to the occipital bone, where they connect with the common external vena cava. It runs across the top of the neck, making it one of the most visible and accessible veins on the body. What is the superficial vertical cervical vein? **Vein superficial neck vertical** is one of the many vessels that permeate the human body. They perform a special function, ensuring the supply of oxygen to tissues and organs. Blood that is not saturated with oxygen is saturated with oxygen in the superficial neck veins, which is why they are also called “veins of the diaphragm.”

Through the circulatory system of the body, cells of organs and tissues are supplied with oxygen and waste products are disposed of. To ensure this function in humans, there is a network of blood vessels originating in the arteries: arteries that are found throughout the surface of the body.

The vein is the return route for blood. >This is a pipeline vessel through which blood is forced to return to the heart (from organs and tissues) in the volume necessary to ensure respiratory activity. Unlike arteries, a venous vessel is less rigid, due to which it has the ability to stretch and reverse compression necessary to pump blood throughout the body.

This is its integral property, which provides the most important function - maintaining blood pressure at a certain level. ***The main function of a vein*** is to transport blood from organs and parts of the body towards the heart. However, inside the vena cava in which it is formed, blood also circulates in the opposite direction, thereby carrying out the movement of venous blood towards the heart. But the vein itself is used exclusively as a vessel.

One of the most important functions of the vein is providing tissue respiration with oxygen. Constant maintenance of this process is realized through venous tone. That is, without the presence of a sucker
