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.

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

Pterygoid plexus
The posterior superior alveolar vein drains what?
The pulp and periodontium of ALL maxillary teeth
The inferior alveolar vein drains what?
The pulp and periodontium of ALL mandibualr teeth
The _____ originates at the medial corner of the eye. The supratrochelar and suprorbital veins descend to merge witht he facial vein. The opthalmic vein communicates with the cavernous venous sinus, and merges with the facial vein.
