What is "jugular"?
The jugular refers to any of the three large veins in the neck, namely the internal jugular vein, external jugular vein, and anterior jugular vein. These veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the head and face back to the heart. The jugular veins are vital for efficient blood circulation and help in the drainage of blood and waste products from the brain, face, and neck region, ensuring proper oxygenation and nutrient supply to the tissues.
