The Innominate orBrachio-cephalic Veins(fig. 431) are two largetrunks, placed one oneach side of the root ofthe neck, and formedby the union of theinternal jugular andsubclavian veins of thecorresponding side. The Right Innomi-nate Vein is a shortvessel, an inch inlength, which com-mences at the innerend of the clavicle, and,passing almost verti-cally downwards, joins with the left innominate vein just below the cartilage ofthe first rib, close to the right border of the sternum, to form the superior venaText Appearing After Image:684 VEINS cava.
