ANATOMY. 
0. Medullary artery of the humerus. 
, 4. Lesser deep-seated artery of the arm. 
5. Great anastomozing branch. . 
6. Radial artery. 
7. Ulnar artery. 
The two last branches are those into 
which ( the trunk of the brachial divides at 
the elbow. They run along the fore-arm to 
the wrist. 
Branches of the radial artery. 
1. Recurrent branch. 
2. Superficial artery of the palm. 
• 3. Branch to the back of the wrist. 
4. Branches to the back of the thumb 
and fore-finger. 
The artery then enters the palm, and 
forms the deep-seated arterial arch of the 
palm. 
Branches of the ulnar artery. 
This vessel, when it has arrived at the 
wrist, passes forwards into the palm of the 
hand, more superficially than the radial, and 
forms the superficial arch of the palm. 
1. Recurrent artery. 
2. Interosseous artery. 
a. Posterior branch. 
a. Interosseous recurrent. 
h. Anterior branch. 
3. Blanch to the back of the hand. 
4. Deep palmar branch. 
5. Three large digital arteries. 
Branches of the descending portion of the aorta 
in the chest. 
1. Common bronchial artery. 
2 . Right and left bronchial arteries. 
3. Esophageal arteries. 
4. Lower intercostal arteries. 
The aorta passes through the diaphragm 
at the lower part of the chest, and takes the 
name of abdominal aorta. It is still situated 
on the left side of the bodies of the vertebra', 
and at the fourth lumbar vertebra it termi- 
nates by dividing into the two common iliac 
trunks. 
Branches of the abdominal aorta. 
1. Right and left phrenic arteries. 
2. Caeiiac artery. 
a. Coronary artery of the stomach. 
b. Hepatic artery. 
a. Duodeno-gastric, or gastro- 
epiploic artery. 
A Superior pyloric artery, 
y. Cystic artery. 
c. Splenic artery. 
«. Pancreatic’arteries, 
/i. Short arteries to the stomach, 
y.- Left gastro-epiploic artery. 
3. Superior mesenteric artery. 
a. From 12 to 20 large branches to 
to the small intestine. 
b. Middle colic artery. 
c. Ileocolic artery. 
4. Renal, or emulgent arteries. 
5. Spermatic arteries. 
. 6. Inferior mesenteric artery. 
«. Left colic branch. 
b. Internal hemorrhoidal branch. 
7. Five pairs of lumbar arteries. 
8. Two common iliac arteries. 
9. Middle sacral artery. 
The common iliac quickly divides into the 
external and internal iliac branches, of which 
the former goes to the thigh, the latter en- 
ters the cavity of the pelvis. 
Branches of the internal iliac artery. 
1. Ueo-Iumbar artery. 
2. Lateral sacral arteries. 
3. Vesical arteries. 
4. Middle hemorrhoidal. 
5. Uterine branch. 
6. Obturator artery. 
7. Gluteal artery. 
8. Ischiatic artery. 
9. Pudendal artery. 
a. External hemorrhoidal branches. 
b. Artery of the perineum. 
c. Dorsal artery of the penis. 
» d. Deep artery of the penis. 
The external iliac artery, having changed 
its name for that of femoral, runs along the 
fiont ot the thigh, and then bends inwards 
to the ham, where it takes the name of 
popliteal. It passes through the latter space 
to the leg, when it terminates by dividing 
into two, of which one runs along the front” 
and the other the back of the leg. 
Branches of the external iliac artery. 
1. Epigastric artery. 
2. Circumflex artery of the ilium. 
Branches of the femoral artery. 
1. Branches to the iymphatic glands, and 
integuments. 
2. External pudic arteries. 
3. Deep-seated artery of the thigh. 
a. External circumflex artery. 
b. Internal circumflex artery. 
c. First and second perforating 
branches. 
4. Branches to the neighbouring muscles. 
4. Great anastomosing branch.
