Like in the forearm, the arm is drained by the brachial veins (deep veins that accompany the brachial artery) and all its branches. In addition, the basilic and cephalic veins course upwards through the subcutaneous tissue and drain the superficial regions of the arm.
1 The atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the blood vessels (veins) that drain the various organs of the body. 2  The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and skin (which also serves as a gas exchange organ in most amphibians). 3  Both atria empty into the single ventricle. Contraction of the ventricle forces the blood into the capillary networks of the gills where gas exchange occurs. 2  The blood then passes on to the capillary networks that supply the rest of the body where exchanges with the tissues occur. 3  Then the blood returns to the atrium.
