    Cutaneous nerves in the superficial fascia innervate sweat glands, arterioles, and arrector pilorum muscles. The superficial veins of the upper limb include the dorsal venous arch, cephalic vein, basilic vein, and median cubital vein. The median cubital vein is ideal for intravenous injections as it connects the cephalic and basilic veins near the elbow.

    Cutaneous nerves,supercicial veins


    introduction
    The superficial fascia seen after the reflection of skin
    contains
    Cutaneous nerves,cutaneous or supercicial veins and
    lymphatics.
    the cutaneous nerves are the continuation of the spinal
    nerves and carry sympathetic fibres for supplying the sweat
    glands ,arterioles in the dermis and arrector pilorum
    muscles in relation to the hair follicle.
    Cutaneous nerves
    Cutaneous nerves
    Superficial veins
    These are most commonly used for intravenous injections and for
    withdrawing blood for testing.
    General remarks
    1 most of the superficial veins of the limb join together to form two
    large veins,cephalic and basilic .

    2 the superficial veins run away from pressure points,they are absent
    in the palm.

    3 the preaxial veins is longer than the postaxial.

    4 the earlier a vein becomes deep the better .

    5 the superficial veins are accompanied by cutaneous nerves and


    superficial lumphatics,and not by arteries.
    6the superficial veins are best utilised for intravenous injections.
    Superficial veins
    Individual veins
    Dorsal venous arch
    1 three dorsal metacarpal veins
    2 a dorsal digital vein from the
    medial side of the little finger.
    3 a dorsal digital vein from the
    radial side of the index figer
    4 two dorsal digital veins from the
    thumb.
    5 most of the blood from the palm
    courses through veins passing
    around the margins of the hand
    and also by perforating veins
    passing through the interosseous
    spaces.
    Superficial veins
    Cephalic vein
    Cephalic vein is the preaxial vein of
    the upper limb .
    It begins from the lateral end of
    the dorsal venous arch.
    It runs upwards.
    1 anatomical snuff box
    2 along the lateral border of the
    biceps brachii.
    3 pierces the deep fascia
    4 runs in the deltopectoral groove
    up to the infraclavicular
    fossa,where
    5 it pierce the clavipectoral fascia
    and joins the axillary vein.
    Superficial veins
    Basilic vein
    Basilic vein is the postaxial vein of
    the upper limb.
    It begins from the medial end of the
    dorsal venous arch.
    It runs upwards:

    1 along the back of the medial


    border of the forearm
    2 winds round this border near the
    elbow
    3 it pierces the deep fascia,and
    4 runs up to the lower border of
    teres major where it becomes the
    axillary vein
    Superficial veins
    Median cubital vein
    Medial cubital vein is a large
    communicating vein which
    shunts blood from the
    cephalic to the basilic vein .
    It begins from the cephalic
    vein 2.5cm below the bend of
    the elbow,and ends in the
    basilic vein 2.5cm above the
    medial epicondyle.
    It is ideal for intravenous
    injections.
    Superficial veins
    Median vein of the forearm

    Deep vein
    Brachial veins lie on each
    side of brachial artery.
    Clinical anatomy
    The median cubital
    vein is the vein of
    choice for intravenous
    injections,for
    withdrawing blood
    from donors,and for
    cardiac catheterisation
    Clinical anatomy
    The cephalic vein frequently
    communicates with the
    external jugular vein by
    means of a small vein which
    crosses in front of the clavicle.

    Enlarges considerably and


    helps in draining blood from
    the upper limb.

    The rupture of the


    communicating channel may
    lead to formation of a large
    haematoma,i.e.collection of
    blood
