What is another word for vena basilica?
Pronunciation: [vˈiːnə bazˈɪlɪkə] (IPA) 
Vena basilica is a medical term that refers to a major vein located in the arm. This vein is commonly used in medical procedures that require access to the circulatory system. There are several synonyms for vena basilica, including the basilic vein, cubital vein, and antecubital vein. The basilic vein is formed by the union of the axillary and brachial veins and travels up the medial side of the arm to the level of the elbow. It then passes through the brachial fascia and joins the brachial artery to form the axillary vein. The cubital vein is a branch of the basilic vein that runs along the arm's underside, taking blood from the hand, then piercing the deep fascia and joining the brachial vein. Finally, the antecubital vein is another branch of the basilic vein that passes the front of the elbow joint.
