  • Title: [Patterns of the arterial vessels in the palm].
    Author: Ebner I, Hammer H.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1988; 131(4):297-304. PubMed ID: 3376735.
    Abstract:
    The pattern of the superficial arteries in the palma manus can be characterized in the following manner. In 58% of the cases the arteria ulnaris runs in an arch from the ulna to the radius and gives off a varying number of arteries to the fingers. There is no connection with any other artery. In 42% of the cases there are arterial connections, of which 32.1% are present in the form of an 'arcus' of a rather large diameter, formed through connection of the arteria ulnaris with the ramus palmaris superficialis of the arteria radialis or with the arteria metacarpalis dorsalis I. Likewise, in 9.9%, there is a connection between the arteries but this, which we call an 'anastomosis', is of a more delicate nature.
