The Superficial Venous System of the Forelimb of the Anubis Baboon (Papio anubis): The Distribution of Perforating Veins and Venous Valves

Figure 8

Diagram illustrating distribution of main perforators and venous valves in the superficial veins of the thoracic limb of Anubis baboon. 1—cephalic vein, 2 and 3—perforators connecting cephalic vein with the radial veins at the level of the carpus, 4—anastomosis with the veins accompanying the anterior interosseous artery, 5—dorsal venous arch, 6—dorsal digital vein of the smallest digit, 7—perforating vein to the veins accompanying the superficial palmar arch, 8—perforating vein to the veins accompanying the ulnar artery, 9—cubital anastomosis between the cephalic vein and deep (radial and ulnar) veins, 10—cubital perforator connecting cephalic vein with veins accompanying the radial collateral artery, 11—jugulocephalic vein uniting the cephalic vein and the external jugular vein.
