The basilic vein is a large superficial vein of the upper limb that helps drain parts of the hand and forearm. [1] It originates on the medial side of the dorsal venous network of the hand and travels up the base of the forearm, where its course is generally visible through the skin as it travels in the subcutaneous fat and fascia lying superficial to the muscles.
Vein matching, also called vascular technology, [1] is a technique of biometric identification through the analysis of the patterns of blood vessels visible from the surface of the skin. [2]
In human anatomy, the cephalic vein (also called the antecubital vein) [1] is a superficial vein in the arm. It is the longest vein of the upper limb. It starts at the anatomical snuffbox from the radial end of the dorsal venous network of hand, and ascends along the radial (lateral) side of the arm before emptying into the axillary vein.

A number of other patterns exist, including ones where no anastomosis occurs between the basilic and cephalic veins, and ones where the median cubital vein is doubled. [4] When the median cubital vein is large, it transfers most or all blood from the cephalic vein to the basilic vein, so that the cephalic vein is either significantly diminished ...
It receives the common palmar digital veins (the veins corresponding to the branches of the superficial arterial arch). [ citation needed ] It drains into the superficial ulnar radial and superficial radial veins, [ 1 ] [ additional citation(s) needed ] and the median antebrachial vein .
