Oxford Comma

"The princeps pollicis artery (also known as the first palmar metacarpal artery) is a branch of the radial artery that supplies the thumb (1^st digit). It arises from the radial artery just as it enters the palm and courses distally along the palmar aspect of 1st metacarpal. At the 1^st metacarpophalangeal joint it bifurcates into two digital branches, radial and ulnar digital branches, that continue along the radial and ulnar aspects of the phalanges of the thumb respectively."

Line 1:423 · Use the Oxford comma in 'branches, radial and ulnar'.
