This study was carried out to reveal the ongin. course and terminations of the faryngeal veins in water buffaloes. For this purpose, a total of eight buffalo heads of both sexes, obtained from slaughterhouse, were used. We found that the venous drainage of larynx was accomplished by two group veins which left the caudal and rostral surface of the larynx. The rostral group was formed by the cranial laryngeal vein and the other veins contributing to the pharyngeal veins and hyoidal arch The caudal group was constituted by the cricothroideal vein and caudal laryngeal ramus.
