Vieussens has given this name to two or three veins, which arise on the anterior surface and right margin of the heart, and open into the auricle towards its right margin. The term Venae Innominatae of Meckel is given to the brachiocephalic veins, which are generally included in the description of the subclavian vein, and correspond to the arteria innominata, being formed by the union of the internal jugular vein and the subclavian properly so called, which correspond to the common carotid and subclavian arteries.
