Venous angle


Venous angle is the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins at both sides of the neck. The external and the anterior jugular and the vertebral veins converge toward it. The left venous angle receives lymph from the thoracic duct. The right venous angle receives lymph from the right lymphatic trunk. Truncus lymphaticus is only about 1 cm long and conveys lymph from the right side of the thorax as well as the right arm and parts of the head and neck.
