The dorsalis pedis artery is located 1/3 from medial malleolus of the ankle. It arises at the anterior aspect of the ankle joint and is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery. [1][2] It ends at the proximal part of the first intermetatarsal space. Here, it divides into two branches, the first dorsal metatarsal artery, and the deep plantar ...
The dorsal interossei abduct at the metatarsophalangeal joints of the third and fourth toes. Because there is a pair of dorsal interossei muscles attached on both sides of the second toe, simultaneous contraction of these muscles results in no movement. This arrangement of dorsal interossei makes the second toe the midline of the foot, whereas ...
The plantar arch is a circulatory anastomosis formed from: deep plantar artery, from the dorsalis pedis - a.k.a. dorsal artery of the foot. lateral plantar artery. The plantar arch supplies the underside, or sole, of the foot. The plantar arch runs from the 5th metatarsal and extends medially to the 1st metatarsal (of the big toe).
Close to the ankle joint, the deep fibular nerve terminates by dividing into medial and lateral terminal branches. [1]Medial terminal branch: This nerve accompanies the dorsalis pedis artery along the dorsum of the foot, and, at the first interosseous space, divides into two dorsal digital nerves which supply the adjacent sides of the great and second toes, [1] communicating with the medial ...
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
Dorsal metatarsal arteries. Anterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries. (Dorsal metatarsal arteries not labeled, but visible at bottom.) The arcuate artery of the foot gives off the second, third, and fourth dorsal metatarsal arteries, which run forward upon the corresponding Interossei dorsales; in the clefts between the toes, each divides ...
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 ...
The deep plantar artery (ramus plantaris profundus; communicating artery) descends into the sole of the foot, between the two heads of the 1st interosseous dorsalis, and unites with the termination of the lateral plantar artery, to complete the plantar arch. It sends a branch along the medial side of the great toe and continues forward along ...
