Explanation

Venae cavae are the two largest veins in the body that carry deoxygenated blood from various regions of the body to the right atrium of the heart. The superior vena cava located in the upper chest region is formed by the joining of the brachiocephalic veins and the inferior vena cava is formed by the joining of the common iliac veins, which meet a little below the small of the neck.
