The cephalic vein drains the lateral side of the arm.
Cephalic
palpate the vein with the tip of your index finger
lateral rotation of humerus (upper arm)
Upper limb, forearm and arm
"Cephalic means something to do with the head." hence the question concerning a vein in the arm with the name cephalic. I'm not sure but google says it was a poorly translated name.

Tricep brachii is responsible for extension (straightening) of the arm at the elbow. There are 3 heads of the Tricep; the long, lateral and medial heads. The Tricep is an antagonist of the bicep and brachialis muscles of the upper arm, which both assist in flexion at the elbow joint.
A dorsal vein in the hand is one. Most commonly, for blood draws in a lab, the antecubital vein (at the location opposite where the elbow flexes, between the forearm and the upper arm) is used.
The median cubital vein is a superfical vein in the upper arm. It connects to other veins like the basilic and the cephalic vein and is a common vein used for drawing blood.
