In the study, a number of 10 Tuj sheep were used to reveal macroscopically the venous drainage of the forelimb through the application of latex and corrosion cast methods. The axillary vein was composed of the subscapular, thoracodorsal and brachial veins. After receiving the superficial thoracic, external thoracic and suprascapular veins, the axillary vein entered the thoracic cavity through the cranial margin of the first rib, and continued as the subclavian vein. The subscapular vein was observed to be formed by the scapular circumflex vein and trunk of the cranial and caudal circumflex humeral veins. The brachial vein, which was the proximal continuation of the median vein, was constituted of the common interosseous, transverse cubital, bicipital, collateral ulnar, collateral radial and deep brachial veins, and was advanced as the axillary vein after the level of the insertion of the teres major muscle. The median vein was formed by an anastomosis branch of the palmar proper IV axial digital vein and the interdigital vein. After giving off a branch for an anastomosis with the radial vein at a level of the carpal joint, the median vein divided into the lateral and medial branches. At the middle level of the antebrachium, the lateral branch formed the cranial body of the median vein by fusing with an anastomosis branch of the radial vein while the medial branch constituted the caudal body of the median vein through joining with a branch of the radial vein.
