Editing Arm (section)

===Veins===
The veins of the arm carry blood from the extremities of the limb, as well as drain the arm itself. The two main veins are the [[basilic vein|basilic]] and the [[cephalic vein]]s. There is a connecting vein between the two, the [[median cubital vein]], which passes through the [[cubital fossa]] and is clinically important for [[venepuncture]] (withdrawing blood).

The basilic vein travels on the medial side of the arm and terminates at the level of the seventh rib.

The cephalic vein travels on the lateral side of the arm and terminates as the axillary vein. It passes through the [[deltopectoral triangle]], a space between the deltoid and the pectoralis major muscles.
