Superior cerebral veins

[further explanation needed] They are predominantly found in the sulci between the gyri, but can also be found running across the gyri.[citation needed] The superior cerebral veins drain into the superior sagittal sinus individually.The anterior veins run at near right angles to the sinus while the posterior and larger veins are directed at oblique angles, opening into the sinus in a direction opposed to the current (anterior to posterior) of the blood contained within it.[citation needed] This article incorporates text in the public domain from page 652 of the 20th edition of Gray's Anatomy (1918)This cardiovascular system article is a stub.
