The axillary vein branches into two parts of the ____vein in the arm
brachial
The superficial veins of the upper limb do or do not have corresponding arteries?
DO NOT
This vein on the lateral arm and forearm drains the superficial lateral arm, forearm, and hand and is found between the anterior deltoid and pec major
Cephalic
This vein on the medial arm and forearm drains the superficial medial arm, forearm, and hand and is found with the median cutaneous nerve of the forearm
Basilic
This vein is located across the cubital fossa and connects the basilic and cephalic veins
Median cubital vein
This vein is on the anterior forearm and drains the superficial anterior forearm into the basilic or median cubital vein
Median vein of the forearm
This is located on the palm of the hand to drain the superficial palm of the hand into the basilic and cephalic veins
Superficial palmar venous arch
This is located on the dorsum of the hand to drain the superficial dorsum of the hand into the basilic and cephalic veins
Dorsal venous arch
