This is a large network of blood vessels, usually veins.
Plexus
This is how vessels communicate.
Anastomosis
Arise from the hear, caries oxygenated blood away from the heart.

What is the network for veins?
Venules --> Veins --> Heart
These are located in the meninges of the brain. They ar channels by which blood conveys from cerebral veins into veins of the neck. Infection in these could be fatal.
Venous sinuses
This venous sinus is located on each side of the body of the sphenoid. It communiates with each other, the pterygoid plexus, and the superior opthalmic vein.
Cavernous venous sinus
