Which two veins form the venous angle?

Explanation:
The venous angle is formed where the internal jugular vein meets the subclavian vein. These two veins join at the base of the neck to create the jugulo-subclavian angle, which is the entry point for lymphatic drainage into the venous system (thoracic duct on the left, right lymphatic duct on the right). Arteries like the aorta or pulmonary arteries are not involved in forming a venous angle, so they aren’t correct.
