The cutaneous artery is a type of blood vessel that supplies blood to the skin. It branches from larger arteries, providing oxygen and nutrients to the dermal layers and supporting skin health. These arteries play a crucial role in thermoregulation and the healing process by ensuring adequate blood flow to the skin. They are typically small in diameter and may vary in distribution depending on the body region.
