Everything about The Vertebral Vein totally explained
The
vertebral vein is formed in the
suboccipital triangle, from numerous small tributaries which spring from the
internal vertebral venous plexuses and issue from the
vertebral canal above the posterior arch of the
atlas.
They unite with small veins from the deep muscles at the upper part of the back of the
neck, and form a vessel which enters the foramen in the transverse process of the atlas, and descends, forming a dense plexus around the
vertebral artery, in the canal formed by the
foramina transversaria of the
cervical vertebrae.
This plexus ends in a single trunk, which emerges from the
foramen transversarium of the sixth cervical vertebra, and opens at the root of the neck into the back part of the
innominate vein near its origin, its mouth being guarded by a pair of valves.
On the right side, it crosses the first part of the
subclavian artery.
