    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruise

    Bruise colors vary from red, blue, or almost black, depending on the severity of broken capillaries or blood vessels within the bruise site. Broken venules or arterioles often result in a deep blue or dark red bruise, respectively. Darker colored bruises may result from a more severe bleeding from both blood vessels.

    They contain tiny vessels which supply blood to the tendon. [1] In vertebrate anatomy, they are referred to as mesotendons . For example, in the fingers and toes of humans and related vertebrates, vincula are responsible for the direct vascularization of the flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus tendons to the intermediate and distal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_artery_of_index_finger

    The radialis indicis artery (radial artery of index finger) is a branch of the radial artery that provides blood to the index finger.. It arises close to the princeps pollicis artery, and descends between the first dorsal interosseous muscle and the transverse head of the adductor pollicis, and runs along the lateral side of the index finger to its extremity, where it anastomoses with the ...

  7. Blood vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel

    Blood vessels function to transport blood to an animal's body tissues. In general, arteries and arterioles transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body and its organs, and veins and venules transport deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs. Blood vessels also circulate blood throughout the circulatory system.

  8. Deep palmar arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_palmar_arch

    It is deep to the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle, the flexor tendons of the fingers, [1] and the lumbricals of the hand. Alongside of it, but running in the opposite direction—toward the radial side of the hand—is the deep branch of the ulnar nerve. The superficial palmar arch is more distally located than the deep palmar arch ...

  9. Cephalic vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalic_vein

    In human anatomy, the cephalic vein (also called the antecubital vein) [1] is a superficial vein in the arm. It is the longest vein of the upper limb. It starts at the anatomical snuffbox from the radial end of the dorsal venous network of hand, and ascends along the radial (lateral) side of the arm before emptying into the axillary vein.
