Palmar metacarpal arteries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artery: Palmar metacarpal arteries

Ulnar and radial arteries. Deep view (Volar metacarpal visible at bottom center).
Latin	Arteriae metacarpales palmares, arteriae metacarpeae volares
Gray's	p.595
Source	Deep palmar arch
Vein	Palmar metacarpal veins

The palmar metacarpal arteries (volar metacarpal arteries, palmar interosseous arteries), three or four in number, arise from the convexity of the deep volar arch

They run distally upon the Interossei, and anastomose at the clefts of the fingers with the common digital branches of the superficial volar arch.
