Ulnar veins

Vein: Ulnar veins

The deep veins of the upper extremity.
Gray's	subject #172
Drains to	brachial vein
Artery	ulnar artery

In anatomy, the ulnar veins are venae comitantes for the ulnar artery. They mostly drain the medial aspect of the forearm. They arise in the hand and terminate when they join the radial veins to form the brachial veins.

They follow the same course as the ulnar artery.
