Hauptvenen des Kopfes und Halses

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the venous blood flow from the head and neck, focusing on the superior vena cava and its tributaries, including the brachiocephalic, internal jugular, subclavian, vertebral, and facial veins. It explains the anatomical pathways and connections of these veins, highlighting their roles in draining blood from various regions of the head, neck, and upper limbs. The tutorial also covers the superficial temporal and auricular veins, emphasizing their significance in the venous system.

What is the primary function of the superior vena cava?
