The efferents of the superior deep cervical glands pass partly to the inferior deep cervical glands and partly to a trunk which unites with the efferent vessel of the inferior deep cervical glands and forms the jugular trunk.
- On the right side, this trunk ends in the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins.
- On the left side it joins the thoracic duct.
