The Bledicm vein is intermediatein position between the anterior ulnarand radial veins; it collects theblood from the anterior aspect of thefore-arm, communicating with thetwo preceding. At the bend of theelbow it receives a branch from thedeep veins, and divides into twobranches, the median cephalic andmedian Median cephalic vein, generally the smaller of the two, passesobliquely outwards, in the groove between the biceps and supinatorlongus, to join the cephalic vein. The branches of the external cuta-neous nerve pass behind it. The Iledian basilic vein passes obliquely inwards, in the groovebetween the biceps and pronator radii teres, and terminates in thebasilic vein. This vein is crossed by one or two filaments of the in-ternal cutaneous nerve, and is separated from the brachial artery bythe aponeurotic slip given off from the tendon of the * The veins of the fore-arm and bend of the elbow. 1. The radial The cephalic vein. 3. The anterior ulnar vein. 4. The posterior ulnarvein. 5. The trunk formed by their union. 6. The basilic vein, piercing thedeep fascia at 7. 9. A communicating branch between the deep veins of thefore-arm and the upper part of the median vein. 10. The median cephalicvein. 11. The median basilic. 12. A slight convexity of the deep fascia,formed by the brachial artery. 13. The process of fascia, derived from thetendon of the biceps, which separates the median basilic vein from thebrachial artery. 14. The external cutaneous nerve, piercing the deepfascia, and dividing into two branches, which pass behind the median cephalicvein. 15. The internal cutaneous nerve, dividing into branches, which passin front of the median basilic vein. 16. The intercosto-humeral cutaneousnerve. 17. The spiral cutaneous nerve, a branch of the musculo-spiral. I
