The garrote was the principal device used for capital punishment in Spain for one and a half centuries until its abolition. Originally, it entailed a mode of execution wherein a convict would be beaten to death with a club (garrote in Spanish).n this 15th-century depiction of the burning of Albigensians after an auto de fe, the condemned had been garroted previously. It is one of the first depictions of a garrote. Pedro Berruguete, Saint Dominic Presiding over an Auto-da-fe.
In the distal third of the hand and webspaces, the dorsal metacarpal arteries supply two or three perforator branches, which travel between the tendons and tendon sheaths of the back of the hand to reach the skin, where they divide into two or more short branches (salmon, 1988).
There are also two arteries (radial and ulnar) that supply blood to your hand. You can feel these on the palm-side of your wrist. The radial artery (nearer your thumb) is often felt to take your pulse. The ulnar artery on the opposite side of your wrist is much more difficult to feel.
