- Anterior circumflex humeral veinVena circumflexa anterior humeriA small vein that curves around the front of the surgical neck of the humerus and empties into the axillary vein.
- Axillary veinVena axillarisThe large deep vein of the armpit, running from the lower edge of teres major to the outer border of the first rib.
- Basilic veinVena basilicaA large superficial vein climbing the ulnar side of the forearm and medial arm before passing deep to form the axillary vein.
- Brachial veinsVenae brachialesA pair of deep veins that run on either side of the brachial artery through the arm, from the elbow to teres major.
- Cephalic veinVena cephalicaA superficial vein running up the radial side of the forearm and arm to the deltopectoral groove and axillary vein.
- Circumflex scapular veinVena circumflexa scapulaeA vein draining the back of the scapula that passes through a gap below teres minor to help form the subscapular vein.
- Deep venous palmar archArcus venosus palmaris profundusA paired venous arch deep in the palm, running with the deep palmar arterial arch across the bases of the metacarpals.
- Dorsal digital veins of handVenae digitales dorsales manusSmall superficial veins running along the backs of the fingers that unite to form the dorsal metacarpal veins of the hand.
- Dorsal venous network of handRete venosum dorsale manusA web of superficial veins on the back of the hand that collects the finger veins and gives rise to the cephalic and basilic veins.
- Median antebrachial veinVena mediana antebrachiiA superficial vein running up the middle of the anterior forearm from the palm towards the elbow.
- Median cubital veinVena mediana cubitiA short superficial vein crossing the front of the elbow that links the cephalic vein to the basilic vein.
- Palmar digital veinsVenae digitales palmaresSmall veins on the palmar side of the fingers that drain the finger pads and communicate with the dorsal veins and the palmar venous arches.
- Posterior circumflex humeral veinVena circumflexa posterior humeriA vein that winds around the back of the surgical neck of the humerus with the axillary nerve and drains into the axillary vein.
- Radial veinsVenae radialesPaired deep veins running with the radial artery along the lateral side of the forearm and join the ulnar veins at the elbow.
- Superficial venous palmar archArcus venosus palmaris superficialisA paired venous arch lying with the superficial palmar arterial arch in the palm, collecting the common palmar digital veins.
- Ulnar veinsVenae ulnaresPaired deep veins that accompany the ulnar artery along the medial side of the forearm and join the radial veins at the elbow.
