If a person standing is facing you with the palms of their hands foreward, that arm (and person) is now in what is called an antetomical position.

Take apart the phrase: right is the arm on the patient's right side. The forearm is the part nearest the wrist. The forearm's anterior surface is facing you.

How does blood flow from aortic arch to the right anterior tibial artery?

Blood flows from the aortic arch into the brachiocephalic trunk, which then branches into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery. The right subclavian artery continues as the axillary artery, which becomes the brachial artery in the arm. The brachial artery bifurcates into the radial and ulnar arteries at the elbow, which supply the forearm and hand. However, to reach the right anterior tibial artery, blood travels through the popliteal artery, which branches into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries; the anterior tibial artery then supplies blood to the anterior compartment of the leg.

What are two sides of forearm?

The forearm has two main sides: the anterior (or flexor) side and the posterior (or extensor) side. The anterior side contains muscles primarily responsible for flexing the wrist and fingers, as well as pronating the forearm. In contrast, the posterior side is home to muscles that extend the wrist and fingers, facilitating movements such as lifting and reaching. These two sides work together to allow a wide range of motion and functionality in the arm and hand.
