Arteries of Forearm/Paw

Question 0

Ulnar Artery

Answer 0

will be the caudal branch off the common interosseous artery. It will supply the ulnar and humeral heads of the deep digital flexor and the flexor carpi ulnaris.

Question 1

Common Interosseous Artery

Answer 1

The brachial artery continues as the common interosseous and then as the median artery. The common interosseous artery will fill the space between the radius/ulna and branch into three branches: ulnar artery, caudal interosseous artery, and cranial interosseous artery.

Question 2

Caudal Interosseous Artery

Answer 2

lies between the apposed surfaces of the radius/ulna. It supplies the palmar surface of the forepaw.

Question 3

Cranial Interosseous Artery

Answer 3

passes through the proximal interosseous space cranially. Supplies muscles lying laterally and cranially in the forearm.

Question 4

Median Artery

Answer 4

the continuation of the brachial artery/common interosseous. The deep antebrachial/radial artery branch off the median artery. This artery is the main source of blood for the paw. It is accompanied by the Median Nerve. The Median Nerve/Artery pass through the carpal canal.

Question 5

Superficial Palmar Arch

Answer 5

Median Artery, Median Nerve, Superficial/Deep Digital Flexor Tendons pass through Carpal Canal, to the metacarpus, forming the superficial palmar arch, with a branch of the caudal interosseous artery.

Question 6

Radial Artery

Answer 6

comes from the medial side of the medial artery in the middle of the forearm. It supplies the deep vessels of the forepaw.

Question 7

Deep Antebrachial Artery

Answer 7

is a caudal branch of the median artery. It supplies the flexor carpi radialis, deep digital flexor, flexor carpi ulnaris, and superficial digital flexor.
