What is the name of the large artery representing one of the two terminal branches of the brachial artery running along the lateral portion of the forearm?
Radial artery
Which artery is palpated when taking the pulse from anatomical snuff box?
Ans radial Explanation • Anastomical box (ASB) has the radial (A) artery as one of its contents. - Radial artery pulsations can be felt in the ASB over the scaphoid and trapezium bones in the floor. • Brachial (B) artery is the content of cubital fossa. It divides into radial and ulnar artery in the fossa itself. • Ulnar (C) artery is a branch of brachial artery which is present in the cubital fossa and passes superficial to the flexor retinaculum to reach the palm. • Ulnar artery gives common interosseous artery which further gives the branches - anterior and posterior interosseous arteries. None of the interosseous (D) arteries enter the anatomical snuff box. • Anatomical snuff box is bounded by the 2 long tendons - Abductor pollicis longus (APL) at the antero-lateral wall and extensor pollicis longus (EPL) at the postero-medial wall. - Extensor pollicis brevis accompanies the abductor pollicis longus, so that the two extensor tendons are at the opposite walls. - de Quervain's tenosynovitis affects the antero-lateral wall of the anatomical snuff box and the tendons involved are APL and EPB. • Floor of the fossa has four bones in the proximal to distal sequence: Radial styloid process → Scaphoid → Trapezium → Base of first metacarpal. - Fracture of scaphoid produces tenderness in the anatomical snuff box. • Roof of the ASB is formed by the skin fascia and 2 import structures are observed here: Cutaneous branch of radial nerve and cephalic vein. • Anatomical snuff box becomes prominent on lateral aspect of the wrist, when the thumb is fully extended.
Where are the carotid and radial arteries synchronized?
The carotid artery supplies oxygenated blood to the head and neck. The radial artery delivers blood to the hands. It is important for the carotid and radial arteries to be synchronized because they work together to help the body function.
Does the radial artery carry blood to the forearm?
Yes, it supplies the lateral aspect of the forearm.
Name the two main arteries in the forearm?
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.
What are the major deep veins of the forearm on the medial and lateral side?
Ulnar and Radial
What structures are found in the anticubital area near the basilic nerve?
This fossa is an important clinical area because it contains the biceps tendon, the brachial artery and its terminal branches (radial and ulnar arteries), the brachial veins, and part of the median and radial nerves.it contains the biceps tendon, the brachial artery and its terminal branches (radial and ulnar arteries), the brachial veins, and part of the median and radial nerves.
What veins is usually used to take a pulse?
The Radial artery is used when taking a persons pulse.
What is the name of the larger of the two terminal branches of the brachial artery which runs along the medial portion of the forearm?
Radial artery
What is the origin of the tricep?
The long head from infra-glenoid tubercle, the medial convers most of the posterior area of humerus and the lateral from a ridge above the spiral groove. That is for the brachii Or do you mean Surae?
Does the Aorta go in the arm?
The aorta branches out and what ends up going into the arm are the brachial (and radial, etc) arteries.
What is the innervation of the forearm extensors?
The median nerve, supplies the lateral half of the arm, up to 1/2 of the fourth(ring) finger, while the ulnar nerve supplies the medial side of the arm, up to the pinky finger and the other 1/2 of the ring finger

What makes the radius bone lateral to the ulna?
In anatomical position, the radius bone is the lateral bone in the forearm and by gently pressing on it's lower end just above the wrist we can feel the pulse of the radial artery , while the ulna is the medial bone of the forearm.
The brachial artery divides into what two arteries?
The radial and ulnar arteries branch off from the brachial (axillary) artery below the elbow.
