Summary

Description
English: The arterial and deep vein blood supply to the human arm. The superficial (subcutaneous) veins are not shown. The deep veins are wrapped round the arteries, and the consequent counter-current flow allows the hand to be cooled down considerably without loss of body heat, which is short circuited by the counter current flow. The veins that surround the arteries in the limbs are known as venae comitantes.

This biology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Arm counter-current flow.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
