Phlebographie bei liegendem Schrittmacher: Darstellung der dünnlumigen V. cephalica, der V. basilica und dazwischen der V. brachialis. Zusammenfluss zur V. axillaris, die sich in die V. subclavia fortsetzt und in die V. cava superior mündet.
The brachial vein is a component of the deep venous system of the upper limb. After forming from the radial and ulnar veins, the brachial vein travels from the cubital fossa superiorly to become the axillary vein.
Summary
- origin: union of the ulnar and radial veins in the cubital fossa
- location: courses superiorly in the upper arm, often in close proximity to the brachial artery
- drainage: deep and superficial palmar venous arches
- termination: union of the brachial and basilic veins at the inferior border of teres major forms the axillary vein
