| superficial palmar (arterial) arch | The arterial arch in the hand located superficial to the long flexor tendons approximately at the level of a line extrapolated across the palm from the distal side of the outstretched thumb.

The arch gives rise to the common palmar digital arteries. Synonym: arcus palmaris superficialis, arcus volaris superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
