The most noted of the patroons became the founders of the great families, afterward so prominent in New York -- the Van Rensselaers, the Schuylers, the Livingstons, and others.2 The company and patroons were soon quarreling, and the dispute was carried to the States-General.
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.
Deoxygenated blood continues to flow from the brachial vein to the axillary vein in the armpit and the subclavian vein, before forming the brachiocephalic vein with blood returning from the head. A system of superficial veins runs parallel to the deep veins to return blood from the superficial tissues to the heart.
