Wikipedia

  1. supratrochlear vein

    The frontal vein (supratrochlear vein) begins on the forehead in a venous plexus which communicates with the frontal branches of the superficial temporal vein. The veins converge to form a single trunk, which runs downward near the middle line of the forehead parallel with the vein of the opposite side. The two veins are joined, at the root of the nose, by a transverse branch, called the nasal arch, which receives some small veins from the dorsum of the nose. At the root of the nose the veins diverge, and, each at the medial angle of the orbit, joins the supraorbital vein, to form the angular vein. Occasionally the frontal veins join to form a single trunk, which bifurcates at the root of the nose into the two angular veins.

  1. supratrochlear vein

    The supratrochlear vein is a superficial vein located in the frontal region of the head. It is primarily responsible for draining blood from the forehead and scalp. It runs from the forehead to meet the angular vein, and together these two veins form the facial vein. This vein plays a crucial role in the vascular system, aiding in the transportation of deoxygenated blood back to the heart. It is termed 'supratrochlear' because it is located above (supra-) the trochlea of the eye, a small, pulley-like structure present in the orbit of the eye.
