Arteria cubitalis, A. ulnaris,rises from the humeral a little below the bend of the elbow; proceeds along the anterior and inner part of the forearm; passes anterior to the ligamentum annulare of the carpus, and goes to form, in the palm of the hand, the superficial palmar arch. Besides the numerous muscular branches, which it gives off in its course, it send posteriorly the common trunk of the interosseous arteries,and internally, the two cubital recurrenis, anteriorand posterior,- articular branches, which anastomose on the inside of the elbow with the divisions of the humeral artery.
