Suprasternal space contains the following structures except_____________?

Correct answer: D. External Jugular Vein

A. Jugular Arch
B. Anterior Jugular Vein
C. Sternal head of Sternocleidomastoid
D. External Jugular Vein

Explanation

The suprasternal space contains the jugular venous arch and lower parts of the anterior jugular veins, whereas the external jugular vein lies more laterally and superficially in the neck. The sternal heads of sternocleidomastoid are related to the boundaries of the region rather than being its principal contents.
