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.
Veins become more visually prominent when lifting heavy weight, especially after a period of proper strength training. Physiologically, the superficial veins are not as important as the deep veins (as they carry less blood) and are sometimes removed in a procedure called vein stripping, which is used to treat varicose veins.
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 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 ...
Superficial palmar venous arch Palm of left hand, showing position of skin creases and bones, and surface markings for the volar arches. (Superficial palmar venous arch not visible, but diagram shows location of corresponding artery.)
Superficial veins are those closer to the surface of the body, and have no corresponding arteries. Deep veins are deeper in the body and have corresponding arteries. Perforator veins drain from the superficial to the deep veins. [16] These are usually referred to in the lower limbs and feet. [17] Superficial veins include the very small spider ...
The superficial veins of the upper extremity. ( Palmar digital veins not labeled but visible at bottom.) Palm of left hand, showing position of skin creases and bones, and surface markings for the volar arches.
Several veins are also in the area (for example, the median cubital vein, cephalic vein, and basilic vein) but these are usually considered superficial to the cubital fossa, and not part of its contents. From lateral to medial, the order of the contents within the cubital fossa can be described by the acronym TAN: tendon, artery, nerve
