(Redirected from Brachial vein)
In
human anatomy, the 'brachial veins' are
venae comitantes of the
brachial artery in the
arm proper. Because they are deep to muscle, they are considered
deep veins. Their course is that of the brachial artery (in reverse): they begin where
radial veins and
ulnar veins join (corresponding to the bifurcation of the brachial artery). They end at the inferior border of the
teres major muscle. At this point, the brachial veins join the
basilic vein to form the
axillary vein.
The brachial veins also have small tributaries that drain the
muscles of the upper arm, such as
biceps brachii muscle and
triceps brachii muscle.
