Arteries Intermetacarpal

The arteries of the intermetacarpal branch are arterial vessels that nourish the tissues of the hand and fingers. They are branches of the ulnar artery and provide blood supply to the entire hand and interdigital spaces.

The ulnar artery passes through the cubital canal, and the intermetacarpal branch emerges from the canal next to the median nerve located between the metacarpal bones. From this point, the artery divides into several branches, each of which supplies a specific area of ​​the hand or finger.

The major arteries of the intermetacarpal hand include the first metacarpal arterial canal, the second metacarpal canal, and the third metacarpal canal. Each of these channels is divided into small branches to provide blood circulation to the corresponding areas of the hand. For example, the first metacarpoparterial canal supplies the tip of the thumb, the second canal supplies the area of ​​the main thumb and the distal phalanx of the fourth toe, and the third canal supplies the tip of the little finger and the thumb.

Damage to the arteries of the intermetacarpal branches can lead to decreased blood flow in the hand area. This can cause numbness and weakness in the hands and fingers, depending on the extent of the blood supply. Thus, damage to the arteries of the intermetacarpal sleeve can be a serious condition that requires timely treatment.

In general, the arteries of the intermetacarpal branches play an important role in nourishing the hand and helping to maintain normal functioning. However, it is necessary to remember their fragility and vulnerability, so injury and damage to this area must be avoided.
