cephalic vein

In one study, the cephalic vein increased from 2.3 mm to 6.3 mm diameter after 2 months.

The two main veins are the basilic and the cephalic veins.

A large oblique branch frequently connects the basilic and cephalic veins on the back of the forearm.

The cephalic vein travels on the lateral side of the arm and terminates as the axillary vein.

Its tributaries include the basilic vein and cephalic vein, which are both superficial veins.

It is the location through which the cephalic vein passes and where the coracoid process is most easily palpable.

Permanent pacemaker leads are often placed in the cephalic vein in the deltopectoral groove.

It connects the basilic and cephalic vein and is often used for venipuncture (taking blood).

Cephalic vein thrombosis (blood clot)

Its only direct territorial afferents are those that accompany the cephalic vein, and one that drains the upper peripheral part of the mamma.

It is found on the back of the hand and gives rise to veins such as the cephalic vein and the basilic vein.

Three male beagle dogs, weighing about 22 kg each, were dosed with 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg at the cephalic vein.

In human anatomy, the cephalic vein (or antecubital vein) is a superficial vein of the upper limb.

The cephalic vein is often visible through the skin, and its location in the deltopectoral groove is fairly consistent, making this site a good candidate for venous access.

These muscle fibers are closely related and only a small chiasmatic space, through which the cephalic vein passes, prevents the two muscles from forming a continuous muscle mass.

The coracoclavicular fascia is pierced by the cephalic vein, thoracoacromial artery and vein, lymphatics, and lateral pectoral nerve.

The accessory cephalic vein is a variable vein that passes along the radial border of the forearm to join the cephalic vein near the elbow.

The upper and smaller branch of the nerve passes to the front of the elbow, lying close to the cephalic vein, and supplies the skin of the lower half of the arm.

One or two deltopectoral lymph nodes (or infraclavicular nodes) are found beside the cephalic vein, between the Pectoralis major and Deltoideus, immediately below the clavicle.

Superiorly the cephalic vein passes between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles (deltopectoral groove) and through the deltopectoral triangle, where it empties into the axillary vein.

Several veins are also in the area (for example, the median cubital vein, cephalic vein, and basilic vein) but these are usually considered superficial to the cubital fossa, and not part of its contents.

The cephalic vein arises within the anatomical snuffbox, while the dorsal cutaneous branch of the radial nerve can be palpated by stroking along the extensor pollicis longus with the dorsal aspect of a fingernail.

The deltoid branch of thoracoacromial artery, often arising with the acromial, crosses over the Pectoralis minor and passes in the same groove as the cephalic vein, between the Pectoralis major and Deltoideus, and gives branches to both muscles.

It contains the cephalic vein, and deltopectoral fascia, which is a layer of deep fascia that invests the three structures that make up the border of the triangle, and also the cephalic vein in the triangle.

The lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (or lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm) (branch of musculocutaneous nerve, also sometimes spelled "antebrachial") passes behind the cephalic vein, and divides, opposite the elbow-joint, into a volar and a dorsal branch.
