What is the front tibial artery?
Front tibial artery is the main blood vessel of the foot between the knee and the ankle. It is located in the front compartment of the foot, which includes structures in the lower leg found in front of the bones of the tibia and fibules. This vessel is divided from the popliteal artery on the rear aspect of the knee joint and descends through the shin to the front of the fibula. The front tibial artery adds blood to the skin, tissues and shaving tissues, including front tibialis, extensor digitorum longus and extensor hallucis longus. It also supplies the dorsal or highest aspect of the foot, where it becomes artery dorsalis pedis. When this artery passes behind the knee, it is divided into two blood vessels: rear tibial artery and front tibial artery. This distribution occurs at the height of the lower part of Popliteussval, which intersects the back of the knee. A significantly larger rear tibial artery penetrates into the back section of the foot, where it forms another main branch called peronal artery.
on the other side of bones nOhou, front tibial artery runs longitudinally on the leg. It sits on the front of the fibula bone, which is located on the outer aspect of the foot. On the inside of the artery is a leaf of fibrous connective tissue between the two leg bones known as an interosseous membrane. The side to the front tibial artery are the muscles of the peroneus longus and the brevis and the vagina of the fascia that surround them.
Before and lateral to the artery is a deep perial nerve that innervates these muscles. Directly in front of the front tibial artery is the front tibial vein. This vessel returns blood exhausted by oxygen and nutrients to Lungs and hearts.
distributing several smaller branches on their progress through the shin, including fibular, tibial recurring and front of mold -tralolar arteries, front angles of tibial artery slightly angles towards the bone bone. Crossing the front of the ankle before the bottom of the tibia, the artery passes under horizontal ligaments known as the superior and lower extensor retinaculi. Once the dorsal surface of the foot continues with the new názvem: artery dorsalis pedis. This artery is divided into its own branches in the leg, side and media branches.
