Some venous blood from the upper limb drains through thea. cephalic vein.b. great saphenous vein.c. external jugular vein.d. inferior vena cava
Some venous blood from the upper limb drains through the
a. cephalic vein.
b. great saphenous vein.
c. external jugular vein.
d. inferior vena cava
The blood circulates throughout the body as part of the systemic circulation. The aorta circulates oxygenated blood through a network of fine blood, and deoxygenated blood is drained back via a network of veins that drain the venous blood into the vena cava.
The deoxygenated blood from the upper limbs are drained by two major superficial veins; the cephalic vein and the basilic vein. These veins collect the deoxygenated or venous blood from the tissues of the upper limb and drain it into the axillary vein from where it is drained to the subclavian vein, and then through a network of larger blood vessels, it reaches the superior vena cava.
Hence, the correct answer is the option 'a.'
