Superior Vena Cava

The superior vena cava (or SVC) is a large vein carrying deoxygenated blood into the heart from the upper body. It is higher in rank than the IVC and it lets the IVC know it every chance it gets. The SVC definitely has a superiority complex and lets this higher rank get to its head. Thankfully, it has to return that blood supply from the head to the heart.
