    Study Notes

    • Ulnar artery enters hand above the flexor retinaculum
    • Forms superficial palmar arch with radial artery's branch
    • Branches: 1 proper palmar digital artery to little finger, 3 common palmar digital arteries
    • Radial artery leaves dorsum of hand, forms deep palmar arch with ulnar artery's branch
    • Branches: Princeps pollicis artery, Radialis indicis artery
    • Deep palmar arch has 3 palmar metacarpal arteries anastomosing with superficial palmar arch's branches
    • Median nerve enters palm behind flexor retinaculum and carpal tunnel
    • Branches in palm: Muscular (recurrent) branch, 3 proper palmar digital nerves, 2 common palmar digital nerves
    • Muscular (recurrent) branch: most lateral, supplies thenar eminence & 1st and 2nd lumbricals
    • Proper palmar digital nerves: 1 to each side of thumb, radial side of index finger
    • Cutaneous branches of median nerve supply lateral 3.5 fingers' palmar aspect and distal half of fingers' dorsal aspect
    • Ulnar nerve enters palm anterior to flexor retinaculum, divides into superficial and deep branches
    • Superficial branch: gives off 1 common palmar digital nerve, 1 proper palmar digital nerve to little finger
    • Cutaneous branches of ulnar nerve supply medial 1.5 finger's palmar aspect and distal half of fingers' dorsal aspect
    • Deep branch of ulnar nerve: gives off muscular branches to hypothenar eminence muscles, palmar and dorsal interossei, third and fourth lumbricals, and adductor pollicis muscle.
