The inferior thyroid veins form a plexus in front of the trachea, behind the sternothyroid muscle. From this plexus, the left vein descends and joins the left brachiocephalic vein, and the right vein passes obliquely downward and to the right across the brachiocephalic artery to open into the right brachiocephalic vein, just at its junction ...

A small horn at the back of the thyroid lobes, usually close to the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the inferior thyroid artery, is called Zuckerkandl's tubercle. [9] Other variants include a levator muscle of thyroid gland, connecting the isthmus to the body of the hyoid bone, [5] and the presence of the small thyroid ima artery. [5]
The thyroid gland also stretches across the upper trachea, with the isthmus overlying the second to fourth rings, and the lobes stretching to the level of the fifth or sixth cartilage. [2] The blood vessels of the thyroid rest on the trachea next to the isthmus; superior thyroid arteries join just above it, and the inferior thyroid veins below ...
The thyrocervical trunk soon divides into branches: the inferior thyroid artery, the suprascapular artery, and the transverse cervical artery. [2]The transverse cervical artery is present in about 2/3 of cases.
The right brachiocephalic vein is about 2.5cm long. [3] The right vein is formed by the confluence of the right subclavian vein and the right internal jugular vein. It receives the following tributaries: The right vertebral vein, the internal thoracic vein, and the thyroid veins, and occasionally from the first right posterior intercostal veins ...
