  3. Human Heart receives blood only through two great veins: Superior vena cava from anterior part and inferior vena cava from posterior part.
  4. Precaval is formed by the union of common' Jugular vein, subclavian vein, intercostal vein and anterior azygos vein.
  5. The jugular veins as external and internal jugulars bring blood from head and neck. The right and left external jugulars are connected through jugular anastomosis. The subclavian vein brings blood from forelimbs and shoulder.
