  2. Dorsalis pedis artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsalis_pedis_artery

    In human anatomy, the dorsalis pedis artery (dorsal artery of foot) is a blood vessel of the lower limb. It arises from the anterior tibial artery, and ends at the first intermetatarsal space (as the first dorsal metatarsal artery and the deep plantar artery). It carries oxygenated blood to the dorsal side of the foot. It is useful for taking a ...

  3. Lateral tarsal artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_tarsal_artery

    The lateral tarsal artery (tarsal artery) arises from the dorsalis pedis, as that vessel crosses the navicular bone; it passes in an arched direction lateralward, lying upon the tarsal bones, and covered by extensor hallucis brevis and extensor digitorum brevis; it supplies these muscles and the articulations of the tarsus, and receives the arcuate over the base of the fifth metatarsal.

    In the angular interval left between the heads of each of the three lateral muscles, one of the perforating arteries passes to the dorsum of the foot; through the space between the heads of the first muscle the deep plantar branch of the dorsalis pedis artery enters the sole of the foot. [3]

  7. Lateral plantar artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_plantar_artery

    The lateral plantar artery (external plantar artery), much larger than the medial, passes obliquely lateralward and forward to the base of the fifth metatarsal bone.. It then turns medialward to the interval between the bases of the first and second metatarsal bones, where it unites with the deep plantar branch of the dorsalis pedis artery, thus completing the plantar arch.

    Dorsalis pedis artery pulse – on dorsal surface of the foot, running lateral to the tendon of the first toe; Posterior tibial artery pulse – posterior and inferior to the medial malleolus; Popliteal artery pulse – behind the knee, typically done with both hands

  9. Arcuate artery of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_artery_of_the_foot

    The arcuate artery of the foot (metatarsal artery) arises from dorsalis pedis slightly anterior to the lateral tarsal artery, specifically over the naviculocuneiform joint; it passes lateralward, over the bases of the lateral four metatarsal bones, beneath the tendons of the extensor digitorum brevis, its direction being influenced by its point of origin; and it terminates in the lateral ...
