The artery of the rete carpi volare (A. retis carpi volaris) is a small vessel which arises at the distal third of the forearm and descends on the radius to the posterior surface of the carjius, where it concurs with branches of the volar meta- carpal arteries in forming the rete carjii volare. 5. The lateral volar metacarpal artery (A. metacarpea volaris lateralis)* is a small vessel which arises just above the carpus under cover of the flexor carpi ulnaris and anastomoses with the ulnar artery, forming the supracarpal arch.
