SurKRMCIAL Arteries, Veins, and Nerves on THE Extensor Side of t h e Arm and Dor- sum OF the Hand. a, V. cephalica; /', V. mediana cu- biti; c, V. cepha- lica antibrachii; d, A. collateralis radi- aHs superior; e, Aa. and Vv. digi- tales dorsales; f, A. radialis; g, su- ])erficial r ad i a 1 nerve; //, N. nms- culocutaneus; ?', N. cutaneus niediahs. (Fig. 130).—Several superficial branches of the hand unite to form a common trunk which curves about the radial side of the wrist and here unites with a simi- larly formed trunk from the dorsum of the hand. The vein formed by this union, vena cephalica (antibrachii) (f), passes to the elbow accompanying the radial nerve {g) and the collateral radial artery {d), and lying on the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle just beneath the integument. It receives small lateral superficial branches. At the elbow it divides into two: these are the vena cephalica (humeri) {a) and the vena mediana cubiti {b). The latter passes beneath the pectoantibrachialis muscle, across the biceps, and unites with the brachial vein in the concavity of the elbow. The vena cephalica (humeri) passes at the elbow onto the upper arm, fol- lowing the lateral border of the clavobrachial muscle. It thus reaches the acromiodeltoid muscle, where it divides into two branches. One passes inward beneath the acromiodeltoid, and joins the vena circumflexa posterior (a branch of the axillary). The second continues over the outer surface of the shoulder, and finally joins the vena transversa scapulae (a branch of the external jugular). D. V. jugularis externa (Fig. 131; Fig. 65, 5, page 109).—The external jugular.
