Jugular vein which is the site for blood collection in animals, is located in -

  • A.Neck
  • B.Tail
  • C.Fore limb
  • D.Hind limb

Answer: A

The jugular vein is located in the neck.

The external jugular vein runs down each side of the neck in the jugular groove, carrying blood from the head back to the heart. It is large and close to the surface, so in cattle, sheep, goats and horses it is the usual site for collecting blood and for intravenous injection.

The tail (coccygeal) vein is another collection site in cattle, but it is not the jugular. The limbs carry the cephalic and saphenous veins, used mainly in dogs and cats.
