 and the two travel down the forearm in close company. 



The collateral ulnar artery furnishes branches to the adjacent

 of the carpus. 



V. COLLATERALIS ULNARIS. — The collateral ulnar vein is a companion 

 of the like-named artery and ends by pouring its blood into the brachial 

 vein. At the carpus it is connected with the lateral volar metacarpal vein. 



N. MEDIANUS. — The median nerve has been followed in the arm 

 where it lies along the anterior border of the brachial artery. The 

 nerve, running in the groove between the biceps and the medial col- 

 lateral ligament, follows the median artery into the forearm where the 

 first part of its course is superficial ; soon, however, the nerve as well
