When present, such relationship would support the genetic base of such frequency variation; as is the case of the coraco-clavicular joint ( 20 ) and the superficial veins of the cubital fossa ( 21 ).

Several veins are also in the area ( for example, the median cubital vein, cephalic vein, and basilic vein ) but these are usually considered superficial to the cubital fossa, and not part of its contents.

Near the region anterior to the cubital fossa, in the bend of the elbow joint, the basilic vein usually connects with the other large superficial vein of the upper extremity, the cephalic vein, via the median cubital vein ( or median basilic vein ).

Historically, when ( venous ) blood-letting was practiced, the bicipital aponeurosis ( the ceiling of the cubital fossa ) was known as the " grace of God " tendon because it protected the more important contents of the fossa ( i . e . the brachial artery and the median nerve ).
