cephalic vein Explanation: It's a vein running in the groove between your deltoid and pectoral muscles which allows easy vascular access for cardiac pacemaker probes, port systems and other such gory things. Also known as as V. cephalica (but that's a more common term in Germany). just looked at 2 of those veins within the last hour (had to implant port systems for chemotherapy) |
