Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cephalic vein runs along the lateral aspect of the upper limb and drains into the axillary vein, which then becomes the subclavian vein. However, in some individuals, the cephalic vein can also drain into the external jugular vein via the transverse scapular vein. The brachial vein, ulnar vein, and radial vein are not directly involved in the drainage of the cephalic vein.
