The cerebral veins are divisible into external and internal (internal cerebral veins) groups according to the outer surfaces or the inner parts of the hemispheres they drain into.
The external veins are the superior cerebral veins, inferior cerebral veins, and middle cerebral vein.
Famous quotes containing the word veins:
“There is gold, and here
My bluest veins to kiss—a hand that kings
Have lipped, and trembled kissing.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
