At the lower border of the transverse head of the adductor pollicis, this vessel anastomoses with the princeps pollicis, and gives a communicating branch to the superficial palmar arch.
The princeps pollicis and radialis indicis may arise from a common trunk termed the first palmar metacarpal artery.
