deep vein that drains the blood from the lateral side of the hand

radial vein
deep vein that drains blood from the medial side of the hand

ulnar vein
superficial vein that merges with the axillary vein on the lateral side of the arm ,drains superficial portion of hands

cephalic vein
superficail vein of the arm that merges wiht the brachial vein to become the axillary vein

basilic vein
a vein that forms the bridge between the basilic and cephalic veins, blood can be sampled at this site

median cubital vein
vein that runs deep on the medial side of the arm and receives blood from the radial and ulnar vein

brachial vein
vein in the armpit region, merges with the cephalic to become the subclavian vein

axillary vein
passes inferior to the clavicle, becomes brachiocephalic vein

subclavian vein
paired vessle that drains into subclavian vein; runs outside the sternoclediomastoid

external jugular vein
a large deep vein that parallels the common carotid arterty, runs deep to the sternocleidonmastoid

internal jugular vein
paired vessle that receives blood from the subclavian vein, enters the superior vena cava

brachiocephalic vein
one of the major vessles connnected to the right atrium of the heart, drains the upper body

superior vena cava
paired vein originating from the subcalvian vein decsending down the posterior side of the rib cage

internal thoracic vein
vein is medial to the artery
collects blood from teh vertebrea and thoracic wall, drains into the azygos vein

intercostal vein
VAN
merges with the superior vena cava in proximity to the right atrium, recives blood from the posterior thoracic region

azygos vein
where all the intercostal veins meet
vein that ascends from the foot anterior to the tibia to the posterior knee where it becomes the popliteal vein

anterior tibial vein
VAV
vein that acends from the foot along the posterior aspect of the tibia where it becomes the poplital vein

posterior tibial vein
VAV
vein that drains the posterior knee region

popliteal vein
superficial and lateral to the artery
major vein of the thigh that receives blood from the deep femoral and the great saphenous vein

femoral vein
VAN beginning on the medial side
ascends from the posterior aspect of the leg in the groin area

deep femoral vein
returns the blood from the arch of the foot and ascends the the level of the thigh where it emtpies into the femoral vein

great saphenous vein
vein used for bypass surgeries
superficial vessel that recieves blood from the femoral vein, returns blood to the common iliac vein

external iliac vein
deep branch that drains the gluteal region, returns blood to the inferior vena cave

internal iliac vein
receives blood from the interanal and external iliac veins, and returns blood to the inferior vena cava

common iliac vein
