The =vena facialis cutinea= receives branches from the muscles in the region of the jaw, the lower jaw bone, the muscles of the eyelids, the frontal region, and the anastomotic branches from the vena maxillaris. The =vena temporalis= is made up of veins from the skin of the temporal region, the masseter and the tongue muscles, and from the sides of the upper throat region. The =vena palpebralis= is made up from veins from the three eyelids and the temporal region near the eye. Its trunk passes laterally over the temporo-mandibularis ligament. The vena palpebralis collects blood from the lacrimal gland, the eyelids, and the outer ear region. The following veins empty into the trunk of the =vena facialis communis=: venæ pharyngis superiores, vena muscularis depressoris mandibulæ, vena muscularis colli anterior superioris, vena lingualis et hyoidea. The right terminal branches of the vena lingualis empty into the vena cephalica posterior. The venæ pharyngis superiores and vena lingualis et hyoidea collect blood from the muscles of the tongue and posterior tongue region. The _vena lingualis et hyoidea_ (Fig. 62, No. _B_, 7) collects the blood from the muscles of the tongue region, the lower tongue glands, and the upper throat region. Between the two trunks of the vena facialis communis and anterior to the entrance of the vena cephalica posterior there is an anastomosis, the vena transversus (Fig. 62, No. _B_, 5). Through this anastomosis which lies crosswise the two jugular veins are influenced in different ways. At this point both jugular veins are of the same size. The anastomotic branch lies crosswise. Through this anastomosis the right receives some blood from the left head region indicating that the blood flows from left to right. This, as stated before, makes the left jugular vein the smaller. BRANCHES OF THE VENA CEPHALICA POSTERIOR The left vena cephalica posterior (Fig. 62, No. _B_, 8) communicates with the transverse vein (Fig. 62, No. _B_, 5). The left receives the smaller veins of the skin region, the esophagus, and the trachea. These vessels communicate with their fellow of the opposite side and with the vertebral vein of the same side, which causes a gradual reduction of the size of the jugular vein.
