cubital
Pertaining to elbows
Cubital means relating to the elbow or the forearm.
The term appears primarily in anatomical contexts: the cubital fossa is the triangular depression at the front of the elbow, and cubital tunnel syndrome involves compression of the ulnar nerve near the elbow joint.
The nurse drew blood from the cubital vein.
