A network of many veins, including the palmar venous plexus and palmar venous arches, collects blood from the palm and delivers it to the veins of the forearm. The cephalic, median antebrachial, and basilic veins carry blood through the arms until they join the deep veins at the brachial vein.

The upper extremity veins are named according to the areas they supply as they run along the length of the hand and arm. Thus, the deep veins consist of the radial vein, ulnar vein, brachial vein, axillary vein, subclavian vein, internal jugular vein, and the innominateorbrachiocephalic vein.

The arterial supply to the upper limb begins in the chest as the subclavian artery. The right subclavian artery arises from the brachiocephalic trunk, while the left subclavian branches directly off the arch of aorta.

The venous system of the arm can be broken down into the following key components, based on the reference provided: Radial Vein: This vein runs alongside the radial artery in the forearm. As venae comitantes, they travel in pairs. Ulnar Vein: Similar to the radial vein, the ulnar vein runs alongside the ulnar artery in the forearm as venae ...
