PART II. THE TACTILE METHODS OF EXPLORATION OF THE PULSE. CHAPTER I. ANATOMICAL DETAILS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RADIAL PULSE. The Anatomical Relations of the Radial Artery at the Wrist. The annexed illustrations, representing the artery in its longitudinal and its transverse sectional aspects, will render superfluous any lengthy description. From our special point of view, practical import- ance attaches to its relations— (1) to the radius ; (2) to the muscles and tendons ; (3) to the deep fascia and ligaments; (4) to its own branches.
