The dorsal venous network of the hand is a venous network on the dorsum (backside) of hand. It is formed by the dorsal metacarpal veins, a dorsal digital vein from the radial side of the index finger and one from the ulnar side of the little finger, and both dorsal digital veins of the thumb. The venous network gives rise to the cephalic vein ...
The most frequent variations of the veins of the forearm (schematic). 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 (ulnar) side of the dorsal venous network of the hand and travels up the base of the forearm, where its course is generally visible ...
Cephalic vein. In human anatomy, the cephalic vein (also called the antecubital vein) [1] is a superficial vein in the arm. It originates 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. At the elbow, it communicates with the basilic vein via ...
Dorsal metacarpal veins. The veins on the dorsum of the hand. The dorsal digital veins from the adjacent sides of the fingers unite to form three dorsal metacarpal veins, which end in a dorsal venous net-work opposite the middle of the metacarpus. They are a popular site for peripheral venous cannulation because they tend to be prominent veins ...
A list of veins in the human body: Veins of the heart. Coronary sinus. Great cardiac vein. Oblique vein of left atrium. Middle cardiac vein. Small cardiac vein. Pulmonary veins. Superior vena cava.
The accessory cephalic vein is a variable vein that passes along the radial border of the forearm to join the cephalic vein [1] distal/inferior to the elbow. It may arise from a dorsal forearm venous plexus, or from the ulnar/medial side of the dorsal venous network of hand. [2] In some cases the accessory cephalic springs from the cephalic ...
The superficial veins of the upper extremity. (Intercapitular veins not labeled, but visible at bottom.) The palmar digital veins on each finger are connected to the dorsal digital veins by oblique intercapitular veins. They drain into a venous plexus which is situated over the thenar and hypothenar eminences and across the front of the wrist.
Most of the dorsal metacarpal arteries arise from the dorsal carpal arch and run downward on the second, third, and fourth dorsal interossei of the hand and bifurcate into the dorsal digital arteries. Near their origin, they anastomose with the deep palmar arch by perforating arteries. They also anastomose with common palmar digital arteries ...
