What is a plantar arch?

Plantar arch does not apply to the arch of the foot, but to the combination of two blood vessels of the foot sole: deep plantar artery and side plantar artery. This union forms a curve in the shape of the letter near the base of the fingers on the feet, where the deep plantar artery, the branch of the artery dorsalis pedis on the upper side of the foot appears between the first and the second fingers and connects to the lateral plantar artery. Smaller containers known as perforation arteries are divided from the plantar arch towards each of the five fingers, giving blood to the ball of the foot and the plantar surface or the sole of each tip. This net is powered by the rear tibial artery, the main container of the calf, and consists of a loop formed by its two branches - media and side plantar arteries - and Plantar Arch. The media plantar artery runs along the inside of the foot soles and the side plantar artery travels on the outside of the foot sole.

It is here that the plantar arch is made up of the intersection of side plantar and deep plantar arteries, near the place where the large finger is divided from the second tip. Here, a deep plantar artery, after turning from the dorsalis pedis artery to the dorsal or upper surface of the foot, leads between the first two metatarsal bones or those under the first and second fingers. It then comes from the metatarsl on the plantar surface of the foot and connects to the lateral plantar artery to form a plantar arch.

short perforation or fasteners are connected by Plantar arch into the media plantar artery under a large finger, thus completing the arterial loop of the foot sole. The media plantar artery, plantar arch and lateral plantar artery produce several smaller branches that pass through the foot balls and enter the feet. Those who pass the foot ball along metatarsal bones are known as metatarsal branches while those who penetrateFingers on the feet next to Falangl's bones are referred to as digital branches.
