Medial brachial vein

Vena brachialis medialis · Vnitřní pažní žíla

Veins

Looks like

One of the paired deep veins that run alongside the brachial artery in the upper arm.

What it does

Returns blood from the deep tissues of the arm to the axillary vein.

Keeping it well

Deep arm vein clots are rarer than leg ones, usually linked to catheters; arm swelling with a line in place needs checking.
