The common interosseous artery is a fascinating blood vessel that branches off from the ulnar artery in the forearm. It supplies oxygen-rich blood to the bones and muscles of the forearm, as well as the wrist and hand. The common interosseous artery splits into two smaller arteries: the anterior interosseous artery and the posterior interosseous artery. These arteries run along the front and back of the interosseous membrane, a thin layer of connective tissue that separates the radius and ulna bones. The common interosseous artery is essential for the health and function of the forearm and hand, as it nourishes the tissues and helps with movements such as flexion, extension, pronation and supination. Isn't that amazing?
