The basilic vein is a large superficial vein of the upper limb that helps drain parts of the hand and forearm.[1] It originates on the medial (ulnar) side of the dorsal venous network of the hand and travels up the base of the forearm, where its course is generally visible through the skin as it travels in the subcutaneous fat and fascia lying superficial to the muscles. The basilic vein terminates by uniting with the brachial veins to form the axillary vein.[citation needed]
