Anatomical terminology

The pharyngeal veins commence in the pharyngeal plexus superficial to the pharynx. The pharyngeal veins receive as tributaries meningeal vein, and the vein of the pterygoid canal. The pharyngeal veins typically empty into the internal jugular vein (but may occasionally instead empty into the facial vein, lingual vein, or superior thyroid vein).[1]
