A diagram showing the angles and positions of the body that may cause harm to the body when used for I.V. injection. This image is from the "Getting Off Right Guide"[1]
The safest injection sites for I.V. use are on the inside of the arm.
The full injection set up is shown above. The needle is the part that penetrates the skin, the barrel is the part that contains the drug solution, the plunger is pulled to check if one is in a vein and pushed down upon injection.
