-posterior circumflex artery
-deep artery of the arm
-ulnar collateral arteries

-radial artery
-ulnar artery
digital arteries
-form in palm from radial and ulnar arteries from superficial and deep palmar arches
superficial veins of upper limb
-basilic vein
-cephalic vein (connected to median cubital vein)
-median vein of forearm
where do you draw blood from
