The diagram shows the cubital fossa region, and the arrow is pointing to the basilic vein, which is situated on the medial aspect of the upper limb. The basilic vein originates from the dorsal venous network of the hand and ascends along the medial side of the forearm and arm. It becomes more superficial as it moves proximally. In the middle of the arm, the basilic vein penetrates deep fascia to join the brachial veins, eventually contributing to the formation of the axillary vein. This vein plays a key role in venous drainage of the upper limb.
