It arises from the brachial, at the upper and anterior part of the forearm; descends on the outer side as far as the lower part of the radius, and proceeds downwards and backwards towards the superior extremity of the space which separates the first two metacarpal bones. It then buries itself in the palm of the hand, where it forms the profound or radial palmar arch. The radial artery gives off the recurrent radial, several radio-mucular branches, the transverse palmar radio-carpal artery, the external superficial artery of the palm of the hand, the external dorsal of the thumb, the dorsalis carpi, dorsal interosseous artery of the index, etc.
