The superficial palmar venous arch consists of a pair of venae comitantes accompanying the superficial palmar arch. It receives the common palmar digital veins (the veins corresponding to the branches of the superficial arterial arch).[citation needed] It drains into the superficial ulnar radial and superficial radial veins,[1][additional citation(s) needed] and the median antebrachial vein.[2]
