The '''median and radial arteries''' branch and then anastamose to form the '''deep palmar arch''' at the level of the carpus. The '''median and lateral palmar metacarpal arteries''' arise from the deep palmar arch. They run distally on the axial surface of the medial and lateral splint bones, respectively.
The '''median and radial arteries''' branch and then anastamose to form the '''deep palmar arch''' at the level of the carpus. The '''median and lateral palmar metacarpal arteries''' arise from the deep palmar arch. They run distally on the axial surface of the medial and lateral splint bones, respectively.
Just distal to the carpus, the medial palmar artery has just passed through the carpal canal and then vein has crossed the carpus superficial to the flexor retinaculum. In the metacarpus, the vessels lie medial to the interosseous and deep digital flexor tendon.
At the metacarpophalangeal (fetlock) joint, the medial palmar vessels become the medial digital vessels. The lateral palmar vessels run past the carpus adjacent the the accessory carpal bone.
