Arm arteries. Historical illustration of the arteries of the posterior aspect of the arm. In the first image the skin is removed to reveal the muscular branches as they come forward from the arteria profunda. The middle figure details the elbow joint. It illustrates the anastomosis between the arteries and the elbow joint. The final image shows the deep seated branches of the arteries. The superior profunda artery can be seen at the top of the arm. Colour Lithograph by Fairland from The Vessels of the Human Body, 1837.
