Abstract
During the fourth week of development, the upper limb bud forms from a mass of mesenchymal cells from the lateral mesoderm, covered by ectoderm, which later differentiates into bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. There are alternative models of arterial development of the arm, including the proposal that the forearm arterial supply is derived from one single axis artery from the seventh segmental artery. However, according to the leading model, the arterial supply begins as a gradually developing capillary network via angiogenesis and in situ differentiation of mesoderm tissue into endothelial cells, which differentiates proximally and distally to form the axillary, brachial, and interosseous arteries. After the brachial artery has developed, the structures distal to the elbow develop, including the ulnar, median, interosseous, and radial arteries (Berezovsky and Bordoni 2021; Rodríguez-Niedenführ et al. 2001).
