280 BRANCHES OF THE BRACHIAL OR HUMERAL ARTERY. 



17. The Anastomoticus Major; the lesser anastomosing branch comes 

 off higher up, and follows the same direction round the inner condyle. 



Arteries of the Fore- Arm. 



Extremity of the Humeral Artery. The Artery divides three-fourths 

 of an inch below the part of the Median Basilic Vein, where we 

 generally bleed. 



18. 18. The Radial Artery. 

 . 19. 19. The Ulnar Artery. 



The Interosseous Artery, which divides into the Inner and 



Outer Interosseous. 



The Recurrent Arteries from these last are, the 

 Recurrens Radialis Anterior. 

 Recurrens Ulnaris Anterior. 

 Recurrens Ulnaris Posterior. 

 Recurrens Inter ossea. 



20. At this point the Radial Artery turns under the supinator tendon 



and the extensor tendons of the thumb. 

 Superficial Artery of the Palm. 



21. The Ulnar Artery passing over the wrist. 

 Dorsalis Ulnaris. 



Arteria Palmaris Profunda Ulnaris. 



22. The Great Palmar Arch, from which the Arteries of the fingers 



are seen to proceed. 



23. This dotted line marks the seat of the Lesser Arch under the tendons. 



From this sketch of the arteries we can follow in idea their continued 

 course among the muscles.
