(With partial use ol' a preparation by W. Braune.) 

 (Below the zygoma, tlie subcutaneous fat and a part of the muscles have been removed.) 

 b) V. facialis posterioi- (see also Figs. 486 and 488) arises superficially in front of tlie ear 

 through the union of the vv. temporales, runs downward in the substance of the glandula * 

 parotis behind the ramus mandibulae and lateral from the carotis externa and bends 

 obliquely forward below the angulus mandibulae, over or under the m. digastricus, to 

 the V. facialis conumuiis. It gives off a large branch at a variable level to the v. jugu- 

 laris externa. It receives : 



ba) V. temporalis super ficialis, from the superficial plexus of the roof of the skull, runs 

 downward beliiud the trunk of the artery. It possesses a valve in front of the ear. 



bb) V. temporalis media runs transversely backward, deviating from the artery, in the 

 m. temporalis, anastomoses at the lateral angle of the eye with the superficial veins, 

 in the muscle with the vv. temporales profundae and perforates the fascia temporalis 

 over the root of the zygoma. It possesses valves. 



be) Vv. aurieulares anteriores, from the lateral surface of the external ear. 

 bd) Vv. parotideae posteriores, from the glandula parotis.
