The upper limbs are drained by a set of deep veins and a set of superficial veins. The superficial veins are
closer to the surface and connect to one another to form complex venous networks. They also communicate
with the deeper veins.
Again, locate the brachiocephalic vein and the subclavian vein. Follow the subclavian vein away from the
heart to locate the vein that receives blood from the arm and delivers it to the subclavian. This is the
vein. The name of this vein describes the region that it passes
through (armpit).
The major superficial veins draining the arm itself are the cephalic and basilic veins. The
