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:
“When first the college rolls receive his name,
The young enthusiast quilts his ease for fame;
Through all his veins the fever of renown
Burns from the strong contagion of the gown;”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
