A MANUAL OF ANATOMY. 



The superficial veins (jugular) of the neck are to be dissected, their forma- 

 tion, course, and termination determined as far as possible. 



The superficial nerves should be fixed in mind by consulting Fig. 16, 

 before the dissection of the neck is attempted, and then traced out. 



The Veins of the Neck. Fig. 15. Diag. 5. 



The temporal and internal maxillary veins unite opposite 

 the neck of the lower jaw to form the temporomaxillary 

 sinus (or vein). 



Diag. 5. THE VEINS OF THE NECK. i, Temporal. 2, Internal maxillary. 3, 

 Temporomaxillary " sinus." 4, Anterior division of the temporomaxillary "sinus." 

 5, Posterior division of the temporomaxillary "sinus." 6, Posterior auricular. 7, 

 External jugular. 8, Posterior external jugular. 9, Transverse cervical. 10, Supra- 

 scapular, ii, Facial. 12, Communicating between facial and anterior jugular. 13, 

 Anterior jugular. 14, Internal jugular. 15, Subclavian. 16, Innominate. 



The temporomaxillary vein descends through the sub- 

 stance of the parotid gland, superficial to the external 

 carotid, and at the angle of the jaw divides into an anterior 

 and a posterior trunk.
