Arteries of Foot
Arterial blood circulation of the foot is through the branches of the posterior tibial along with dorsalis pedis arteries (a.k.a. dorsal artery of the foot). The posterior tibial artery travels towards the sole and splits into lateral and medial plantar arteries. The lateral plantar artery connects together
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
