The deep veins of the forearm are the venæ comitantes of the radial and ulnar veins and constitute respectively the upward continuations of the deep and superficial volar venous arches; they unite in front of the elbow to form the brachial veins. The radial veins are smaller than the ulnar and receive the dorsal metacarpal veins. The ulnar veins receive tributaries from the deep volar venous arches and communicate with the superficial veins at the wrist; near the elbow they receive the volar and dorsal interosseous veins and send a large communicating branch (profunda vein) to the vena mediana cubiti.

What deep veins drain the forearm?

The deep veins that drain the forearm are the radial veins and ulnar veins. These veins run alongside the radial and ulnar arteries respectively, and eventually join to form the brachial veins. The brachial veins then merge to form the axillary vein, which continues the drainage pathway.

Is there a finger that has a vein that leads directly to the brain?

The venous system is a highly-branched network of veins all over the body and brain that returns blood back to the heart for 'nutrient re-fill' after this blood has been stripped of its nutrients by body tissues. Anatomically speaking, you can trace any vein in the human body to any other vein in the human body (including a vein from your finger to your brain). However, blood does not run directly en route from any vein in any finger to the brian. Blood in the veins of your fingers (which are called your digital veins), runs from your digital veins and branches to your Ulnar and Radial veins of your arms (mainly), these two veins then branch to form your axillary vein (near your armpit). The next and last stop for blood is the superior vena cava, a large vein that dumps all of the blood that is returning from the top half of the body into the right atrium of the heart for nutrient refill. Long story short: Anatomically..yes there is. Does blood go from your fingers to your brain? No. I hope this provides you with your answer as well as some helpful information

What is the brachial plexus group?

This group of nerves innervates the muscles and skin of the entire upper limbs except the Trapezius muscle and the skin near the axilla (arm pit). The plexus comes off the spinal cord at C4,C5,C6,C7,C8 and T1 where they mix and form a plexus. There are 5 main nerves that are formed: Musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median and ulnar nerves.
