Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]

The ulnar veins are venae comitantes of the ulnar artery. They drain the superficial venous palmar arch ^{[ dubious – discuss ]}. ^[1] They arise in the hand and terminate by uniting with the radial veins to form the brachial veins. They mostly drain the medial aspect of the forearm.^{[ citation needed ]} They receive the venae comitantes of the anterior and posterior interosseous arteries near the elbow, as well as a large branch from the median cubital vein. The ulnar veins are larger than the radial veins. ^[1]

They follow the same course as the ulnar artery.^{[ citation needed ]}
