Ulnar Vein

COURSE AND POSITION

  • Ulnar Veins arise from the Deep Palmar Venous Arch on its Ulnar side.
  • An Anterior and a Posterior Ulnar Vein arises from the Arch and follow the Ulnar Artery anteriorly and posteriorly, respectively.
  • They anastomose (join) freely with each other on their way.
  • Anterior and Posterior Veins join after passing the elbow joint and form Common Ulnar Vein.
  • Common Ulnar Vein ends by joining the Median Cubital Vein and later forming Brachial Vein.

FUNCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE

  • Ulnar Veins drain the blood from medial aspect of hands and fingers through Palmar Venous Arch.
  • They also drain the medial aspect of the forearm.
  • They provide collateral (alternate) circulation in case of trauma to other vessels nearby.
