19. The ulnar artery is the branch of the brachial artery that passes down the little finger (medial) side of the forearm to the wrist. Both the radial and ulnar arteries supply blood to the forearm, and they unite to form the deep and superficial palmar arches in the hand. 20. The palmar arches are arterial loops, formed by the union of the radial and ulnar arteries. They are located at different levels within the hand (palm); the digital (finger) arteries arise from these arches.
