What is another word for accessory cephalic vein?
Pronunciation: [ɐksˈɛsəɹˌi sɛfˈalɪk vˈe͡ɪn] (IPA) 
The accessory cephalic vein is a term used in anatomical studies to refer to a vein in the arm that runs parallel to the cephalic vein. This vein is considered accessory since it is not present in all individuals, and it is also known by several synonyms such as "median cubital vein," "Hachisuka's vein," and "intermediate vein." The median cubital vein is used in medical procedures such as blood draws and intravenous therapy due to its prominent location in the arm. Hachisuka's vein is named after the Japanese anatomist who first described it, and the intermediate vein is a term used to highlight its position between the radial and ulnar veins. Regardless of the term used, this vein plays an important role in medical procedures and understanding human anatomy.
