Anatomy
Course
Mainly contributed to by the ulnar artery, though it connects both ulnar and radial arteries, as it anastomoses with the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery. It runs across the palm in the plane, just deep to the palmar aponeurosis and lies on the flexor tendons of the digits.
Supply
Supplies blood to the superficial structures of the hand and palm.
