After the central line was placed, it pinched off and failed to work when the patient held a heavy weight in her hand and the inferior movement of her clavicle compressed the central line within the subclavian vein. The physician decided to remove the central line from the basilic vein and place another central line into the internal jugular vein. The IJV provides a more direct route to the heart and avoids the problem of catheter pinch off. List the veins in order through which the central line passes as it travels from the internal jugular vein to the right atrium of the heart.
