26
Q

What are the SF vv?

A
  • Dorsal venous network
  • Cephalic v
  • Basilic v
  • Median cubital v
27
Q

Cephalic v

A
  • Arises from lateral aspect of dorsal venous network
  • Travels along lateral aspect of forearm & arm
  • Enters deltopectoral triangle
  • Drains into axillary v
28
Q

A
  • Deltoid
  • Pec major
  • Clavicle
29
Q

Basilic v

A
  • Arises from medial aspect of dorsal venous network
  • Courses along medial aspect of forearm & arm
  • Joins brachial vv to form axillary v
30
Q

Median cubital v

A
  • Site of venipuncture
  • Arises from cephalic v
  • Crosses superficial to cubital fossa
  • Empties into basilic v
31
Q

Median antebrachial v

A

Divides into median cephalic v & median basilic v

*Venipuncture is common in this region

32
Q

Brachial plexus

A
  • Network of nn in neck & axilla
  • Give rise to motor & sensory nn
  • Formed by ventral rami C5- T1
