Taxonomic definition
Taxonomic definition A retromandibular vein is a subdivision of internal jugular vein [divisio venae jugularis internae ] which drains the lateral part of the face [facies ] up to the parotid gland [glandula parotidea ].
Notes
The retromandibular vein has anterior and posterior divisions. The anterior division joins the facial vein to form the common facial vein, whereas the posterior division joins the posterior auricula vein to form the external jugular vein.
