13. Ulnar Arteries







Ulnar Arteries. This is the main blood vessel, with oxygenated blood, of the medial aspect of the forearm. It arises from the brachial artery and terminates in the superficial palmar arch, which joins with the superficial branch of the radial artery. It is palpable on the anterior and medical aspect of the wrist. 

MT's avoid this area because the area is an artery.

  1. You put medical instead of Medial. And Massage Therapists should NOT avoid any of these areas i've been looking at. These are not endangerment spots. You just need to be gentle going in because it hurts.
