What is an "ulnar artery"?
An ulnar artery is one of the major blood vessels in the human body. It runs along the inner side of the forearm, parallel to the ulna bone. The ulnar artery supplies oxygenated blood to the muscles and tissues of the forearm, hand, and fingers. It plays a crucial role in maintaining proper blood circulation and providing nutrients to these areas.
