Popliteal Artery
Popliteal artery is the extension of femoral artery. The starting point is adductor hiatus (an opening of osseo-aponeurotic type located in adductor magnusat , the junction of middle one-third and lower one-third of thigh), it gets divided into anterior and posterior tibial arteries when it comes across
Anterior Compartment of The Leg – Muscles, Arteries, Nerves
Boundaries Anterior: Deep fascia of the leg. Medial: Lateral surface of the shaft of the tibia. Lateral: Anterior intermuscular septum. Posterior: Interosseous membrane. Contents Muscles: 4 muscles (tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius). Artery: Anterior tibial artery. Nerve: Deep peroneal nerve (anterior
Anterior Tibial Artery
Anterior Tibial Artery is an important artery of the anterior compartment of the leg. It is corresponding to the posterior interosseous artery of the forearm. The blood supply to the anterior compartment of the leg is bolstered by the perforating branch of peroneal artery. Hence, the size
Dorsalis Pedis Artery
Dorsalis Pedis Artery is the main artery of the dorsum of the foot. The dorsalis pedis artery is the just the continuation of the anterior tibial artery. So it starts as the anterior tibial artery passes by the ankle joint. Origin The dorsalis pedis artery is
Posterior Tibial Artery
Origin Posterior Tibial Artery is the bigger branch of both terminal branches of the popliteal artery because its branches not only supply the posterior compartment but also the lateral compartment of the leg and the sole of the foot. Course and Relationships It starts at the lower
