Ulnar means related to the small of the two bones of the forearm. It has the related meaning of "pinky side" when referring to arm anatomy. Palmar means related to the palm of the hand. They do not mean the same thing.

Venous: Digital, deep palmar arch, superficial palmar arch, radial vein, ulnar vein, median antebrachial vein, cephalic vein, basilic vein, median cubital vein. Arterial: Radial and Ulnar arteries, deep palmar arch, digital, superficial palmar arch, brachial.
Radial and ulnar. Both arteries are felt on the palmar aspect of the wrist- the radial on the side of the thumb where a physician usually examines the pulse while the ulnar is on the side of the little finger.
The blood flows from the axillary artery into the brachial artery. The brachial artery has a branch called the deep brachial artery. The brachial artery branches into the radial and ulnar arteries. These artiers combine at the wrist forming the superficial palmar arch and the deep palmar arch.
The deep palmar arch is a crucial structure in the hand, primarily providing blood supply to the deep structures of the palm and the fingers. It is formed by the anastomosis of the radial and ulnar arteries and gives rise to several branches, including the palmar metacarpal arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, tendons, and bones of the hand, facilitating movement and function. Additionally, the deep palmar arch plays a role in the vascular network that ensures adequate blood flow during hand activities.
It means that following some type of imaging study, usually MRI, no tumor or cyst was identified in the area of the palmar side of the wrist known as Guyon's (or Ulnar) Canal (or Tunnel). A tumor or cyst in this area can put pressure on the (ulnar) nerve which runs through this area.
The blood from the fingers is primarily drained by the digital veins, which accompany the digital arteries. These veins converge into larger veins, such as the superficial palmar veins, which eventually drain into the radial and ulnar veins of the forearm. The radial and ulnar veins then converge to form the brachial vein, leading back to the heart.
Blood flows from the heart through the aorta, then to the arteries, arterioles, and finally into the capillaries where gas exchange occurs. From the capillaries, deoxygenated blood returns through venules and veins back to the heart. The order of blood flow in the context of palmar digitalis (to the fingers) specifically follows: the brachial artery branches into the radial and ulnar arteries, which then further branch into the palmar arches and finally the digital arteries supplying the fingers.
The ulnar pulse site is located on the inner side of the wrist, next to the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon. It can be felt by pressing lightly with your fingers in the groove between the tendon and the ulna bone.
Palmar Arriba's population is 4,072.
