According to the most classic of anatomical views, the veins of the arm can be distinguished into two broad categories: the superficial arm veins and the deep arm veins.
To the category of superficial arm veins belong: the basilica vein, the cephalic vein, the median cubital vein and the axillary vein; the category of deep arm veins, on the other hand, includes: the radial vein, the ulnar vein, the brachial vein and the perforating veins of the arm.
The veins of the arm can be the protagonists of some important particular pathological conditions; moreover, they can be used in the field of vascular surgery, general medicine and cardiac surgery.
