surface of the trachea, receiving 
afferents from the trachea and the 
lower part of the thyroid body, and 
giving efferents to the lower deep 
cervical elands. 
The deep cervical glands lie along 
the course of the internal jugular 
vein, and at the root of the neck 
extend outwards along the subclavian 
vein. They form two groups, an 
upper and a lower. (a) The upper 
deep cervical glands (lymphoglandule 
cervicales profundge superiores) extend 
from the base of the skull to the 
bifurcation of the common carotid 
artery. They receive afferents from 
the interior of the cranium, the 
posterior part of the nose, the walls 
of the pharynx, the tonsil, the upper 
part of the larynx, the thyroid body, 
the posterior and deep parts of the 
tongue, and from all the glands of the 
head and neck except the occipital, 
mastoid, superficial parotid, pre- 
tracheal, and the lower deep cervical 
glands. Their efferents terminate in 
the lower deep cervical glands. (6) 
The lower deep cervical glands (lym- 
phoglandule cervicales — profundee 
inferiores) he along the lower part of 
the internal jugular vein, and they 
extend outwards into the lower part 
of the posterior triangle. Their 
afferents are derived from the upper 
deep cervical glands, the superficial 
cervical glands, the pre-tracheal 
glands, the cesophagus, the trachea, 
the lower part of the pre-vertebral 
region, and the infra-clavicular 
glands. Their efferents usually unite 
to form a common jugular lymphatic 
trunk which opens on the right side 
into the right lymphatic duct, and 
on the left into the thoracic duct.
