QuestionChoice
The brachiocephalic veins (also termed the innominate veins) are paired vessels, which drain the head, neck, upper limbs and part of the thorax and mediastinum. They are formed by the union of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. The right brachiocephalic vein becomes the superior vena cava as it is joined by the left brachiocephalic vein. The SVC then drains the deoxygenated blood into the right atrium of the heart.
