The external and internal jugular veins are Vein s that bring deoxygenated blood from the Head back to the heart via the Superior Vena Cava . The internal jugular vein is formed by the Anastomosis of blood from the Sigmoid Sinus of the Dura Mater and the Common Facial Vein . In popular culture, the jugular is stereotypically what dogs and other animals are thought to go after with the intent of killing another animal.
