Superior vena cava is a large venous channel which collects blood from the upper half of the body and drain into the right atrium. Superior vena cava is about 7cm long. It is formed by the union of the right and left brachiocephalic or innominate veins. It begins behind the lower border of the first right costal cartilage close to the sternum. It terminates by the opening into the upper part of the right atrium behind the third right costal cartilage. It has no valves.
