Jugular venous arch
Template:Infobox Vein Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Just above the sternum the two anterior jugular veins communicate by a transverse trunk, the jugular venous arch (or venous jugular arch), which receive tributaries from the inferior thyroid veins; each also communicates with the internal jugular.
There are no valves in this vein.
