Branch of the radial artery that forms part of the peri-articular anastomotic system
Radial recurrent
Radial recurrent branch will hook up with:
Radial collateral
Deep radial artery hooks up with the:
Radial middle
Radial recurrent branch arises from:
The lateral side of the radial artery. Just distal to the bifurcation of barchial artery
Radial recurrent branch ascends between _____ and _______ to meet the
Brachialis and brachioradialis to meet the radial collateral branch of the profunda brachii artery
The radial nerve is in which compartment?
Posterior
The radial artery is in what compartment?
Anterior
The posterior interosseous artery supplies what compartment
Posterior
Brachial artery bifurcates into the:
Radial and ulnar arteries
The ulnar artery descends deep to the: (3)

palmaris longus and
flexor digitorum superficialis
The ulnar artery passes superficially to the_____ _____ with the _____ nerve in the _____ ____ to enter the hand.
Flexor retinaculum
Ulnar nerve
Guyon Canal
Pulsations of the ulnar artery can be palpated where?
On the lateral side of the FCU tendon
The common interosseous trunk is a branch of the:
Ulnar artery
The common interosseous trunk is (SHORT/LONG) trunk that branches to form the:
Short
Anterior interosseous artery
Posterior interosseous artery
Interosseous arteries (4)
Common
Anterior
Posterior
Recurrent
Artery that is the 1st large branch of the ulnar distal to the bifurcation of the brachial artery.
Passes deep and lateral
Common interosseous artery
Pathway of anterior interosseous artery
Interosseous artery that passes distally on the anterior surface of the interosseous membrane.
runs between the FDP and FPL.
Proximal to the pronator quadratus, pierces the membrane to enter the posterior compartment
Joins the dorsal carpal arch.
Pathway of posterior interosseous artery
Passes posterior to the interosseous membrane
Distally runs between the deep and superficial extensor
Pathway of the recurrent interosseous arteries
Passes superiority to the radioulnar joint
Anastomoses with the middle collateral branch of the profunda brachii artery
The posterior interosseous artery sometimes gives off a branch to the
Recurrent interosseous artery
Collateral circulation for superior ulnar collateral
Posterior ulnar recurrent
Collateral circulation for interior ulnar collateral
Anterior ulnar recurrent
Collateral circulation for middle collecteral
Recurrent interosseous
Collateral circulation for radial collateral
Recurrent artery
Superficial veins of the forearm (3)
Cephalic
Basilic
Medial cubital
Deep veins of the forearm accompany:
They freely anastomose with:
The arteries
Anastomose with superficial veins
