The Radial Artery .—The radial di-vision of the brachial runs along the radialside of the fore-arm from the elbow to thewrist, where it turns around the base of thethumb beneath its extensor tendons, andpasses into the palm of the hand. It thencrosses the metacarpal bones to the ulnarside, forming the deep palmar arch, andterminates by inosculating with the super-ficial palmar arch. This is the arterywhich, from its superficial position abovethe wrist and base of the thumb, is select-ed for examining the pulse. Its branchedare : 1. To the fore-arm; the recurrent ra-dial and muscular. 2. To the wrist; swperficialis volts, carpalis anterior, carpalisposterior, metacarpalis, and dorsales polli-cis. 3. To the hand; princeps pollicis,radialis indicis, interosscte, and perforantes,distributed as their names import. The arterks of the fore-arm are shown m Fig 751. 2:c3pa muscle. 2. inner condyle of
