THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The collection of blood specimens typically occurs at venous sites on the body, with the median cubital vein in the antecubital fossa being the typical collection site because this vein is relatively large and easily accessible [12].

Detailed explanation-2: -The median cubital and cephalic veins are preferred for blood sampling, but other arm and hand veins may be used. The cephalic vein is located on the lateral (radial) side of the arm, and the basilic vein is located on the medial (ulnar) side.

Detailed explanation-3: -Generally, phlebotomists will attempt to use the median cubital vein first if the option is available. That’s because it is stable when drawing blood and generally easy to locate. It also produces less bruising, which means that patients are more comfortable after a blood draw.
