Another major difference between head and neck veins and arteries is that the posterior auricular artery is a posterior branch of the external carotid artery, whereas the posterior auricular vein is one of the two main superior branches of the external jugular vein, together with the retromandibular vein (this latter vein joins branches of the common facial vein). No arteries clearly correspond to the external or anterior jugular veins, which are essentially vertical, superficial veins situated, respectively, on the lateral and anterior surfaces of the neck, and which usually branch from the subclavian vein. In yet another difference between arteries and veins, the lingual vein is superficial to the hyoglossus muscle and the subclavian vein is superficial to the anterior scalene muscle, whereas the lingual artery is deep to the hyoglossus muscle and the subclavian artery is deep to the anterior scalene muscle. However, these two differences can be explained by the rule that, in general, veins are superficial to arteries in the head and neck as are in the limbs.
Anatomy and Embryology of the Mouth and Dentition

There are two sets of veins draining the tongue. The deep lingual vein begins near the apex of the tongue and runs back on its ventral surface (see Figure 41.3). It joins a sublingual vein from the sublingual salivary gland, to form the vena comitans nervi hypoglossi. This then passes backwards with the hypoglossal nerve and joins the lingual, facial or internal jugular vein. Dorsal lingual veins drain the dorsum and sides of the tongue and join the lingual veins accompanying the lingual artery. They drain into the internal jugular in the region of the hyoid bone.
The Conception Vessel (CV)
Published in Narda G. Robinson, Interactive Medical Acupuncture Anatomy, 2016
Lingual vein: Tributaries of the lingual vein are the dorsal lingual veins, which accompany the lingual artery, and the deep lingual veins, which begin at the tip of the tongue and course alongside the lingual frenulum until they join the sublingual vein. The deep lingual veins are visible through the mucosa on the underside of the tongue. Ultimately, all of the venous drainage of the tongue empties into the internal jugular vein.
Use of a biopsy punch for end-to-side anastomosis in free-tissue transfer

In free tissue transfer for head and neck reconstruction, a number of studies reported the versatility of the ETSA technique in vein anastomosis. In the head and neck region, the external jugular vein, the anterior cervical vein, and the sizable concomitant veins of arteries, such as the facial and lingual veins, are commonly used as the recipient vein. However, the lack of appropriately sized and located veins has frequently caused problems in flap surgery [7]. In these circumstances, ETSA to the internal jugular vein can solve the problems. Yamamoto et al suggest that the internal jugular vein has the broad capacity to be the recipient of two or more ETSAs, so it can be effectively used for free flap procedures in which two or more drainage veins can be included [8]. In addition, a study by Acland suggested that the voluminous blood flow in the internal jugular vein can wash away small thrombi at the anastomotic site and can decrease the incidence of thrombus formation [9]. At our institution, ETSA to the internal jugular vein is the primary option for most cases of head and neck reconstruction.
Major vessel invasion by thyroid cancer: a comprehensive review
Published in Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy, 2019
Michael S. Xu, Jennifer Li, Sam M. Wiseman
Invasion of the regional venous system by thyroid cancer is the most common and best described type of MVI that has been reported in the literature. The specific presentation of a tumor thrombus within the IJV, or another neck vein, depends upon the specific site and degree of vessel lumen obstruction. The pattern of vascular cancer extension generally occurs in continuity with the neck venous anatomy, and the commonest sites for invasion are: the IJV and the brachiocephalic vein (BCV) proximally, followed by the SVC and the right atrium more distally (Table 2). Other less commonly reported sites of venous invasion by thyroid cancer include the: azygous vein [50,62,63], axillary vein [64], and facial/lingual veins [65].
Chemical compositions of Commiphora opobalsamum stem bark to alleviate liver complications in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats: Role of oxidative stress and DNA damage

Blood collected from each animal by puncture the sub-lingual vein in a clean and dry test tube, left 10 minutes to clot and centrifuged at 300 g for serum separation. The separated serum was stored at −80 °C for further determinations of diabetic index, liver function enzymes, lipid profile and inflammatory mediators’ tests.
