Summary Introduction
To review:
The origin of cephalic vein, median antebrachial vein, basilic vein, radial vein, and ulnar vein.
Introduction:
Veins refer to the blood vessels, which are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the body parts to the heart. Only pulmonary vein and umbilical vein carry oxygenated blood. Cephalic veins, median antebrachial vein, basilic vein, radial vein, and ulnar vein are mainly responsible to drain out the blood from the body's upper limbs.
