The internal jugular vein exits the skull and continues its course, within the carotid sheath, beneath the sternocleidomastoid muscle in a posterolateral approximation to the carotid artery. The jugular bulb is the dilated portion of the jugular vein just below the base of the skull and is the preferred site for blood sampling (see Figure 1).
