The Subclavian Veins

Question

The subclavian veins
A) receive blood from the inferior vena cava.
B) pump blood into the jugular veins.
C) are part of the hepatic portal circulation.
D) deliver blood to the brachiocephalic veins.

Accepted Answer

The subclavian veins deliver blood to the brachiocephalic veins, which then merge to form the superior vena cava. They do not receive blood from the inferior vena cava or pump blood into the jugular veins. They are also not part of the hepatic portal circulation.
