👉 The Announces Veins, also known as the Announce Veins or Announcer Veins, are a pair of veins located on the left side of the neck, just below the sternocleidomastoid muscle. These veins are named after their discovery by the French anatomist and physician Jean-Antoine Noyau in 1827. They are superficial veins that drain into the internal jugular vein and play an important role in venous return from the head and neck region. The Announces Veins are easily visible due to their thin-walled structure and are often used as a landmark during medical examinations.
