Transcript of Arteries of lower extremity Superior gluteal artery: Branch of posterior div. of internal iliac...
Arteries of lower extremitySuperior gluteal artery:•Branch of posterior div. of internal iliac artery•Enters the gluteal region through greater sciatic foramen passing above the piriformis.•In the foramen it divides into superficial & deep branches.•Superficial branch supplies gluteus max.•Deep branch subdivides into sup. & inf. branches
Arteries of gluteal region Inferior gluteal artery • Branch of ant. Div. of internal iliac artery• Enters gluteal region by passing through greter sciatic foramen
below the piriformis. It Supplies • Musular branches• Cutaneous branches to buttock & back of thigh• Articular branch to hip joint• Artery to sciatic nerve• Cruciate anastamotic branch• Coccygeal branch
Arteries of gluteal region
Internal pudendal artery• Branch of ant. Div of internal iliac artey• Enters gluteal region through greater sciatic
foramen
Trochanteric anastomosisThis anastomosis is a channel of communication
between internal iliac and femoral arteries. Situated near the trochanteric fossa• Supplies branches to head of femur• Inf. Div. of deep branch of sup. Gluteal artery• Ascending branch of medial circumflex femoral
artery• Ascending branch of lateral circumflex femoral
artery• Often the inf. Gluteal artery
Cruciate anastomosis• Situated at the level of lesser trochanter of
femur Formed by• Inferior gluteal artery• Medial femoral circumflex artery• Lateral femoral circumflex artery• First perforating artery, a branch of profunda
femoris artery
Profunda femoris• Largest branch of femoral artery• Main artery of all three compartments of
thigh• Arises from lateral side of femoral artery 4cm
below the inguinal ligament• Branches:• Medial circumflex femoral artery• Lateral circumflex femoral artery• 4 perforating arteries
Popliteal artery• Continuation of femoral artery• Begins at the opening in the adductor magnus• Runs downwards &laterally to reach lower
border of popliteus• At that point it terminates by dividing into ant.
&post. Tibial arteries• Branches• Muscular : supply adductor magnus &
hamstrings ,terminate by anastomosing with 4th perforating artery
Popliteal artery
• Cutaneous: accompany small saphanous vein• Genicular: 5 in number • 2 superior: medial & lateral superior genicular
arteries• 2 inferior: medial & lateral inferior genicular
arteries• 1 middle
Anterior tibial artery• Smaller terminal branch • Passes into ant. Compartment by passing through gap
in the upper part of interosseous membrane• Deep in the upper part of course• Supply adjacent muscles• Superficial in the lower part• passes behind the extensor retinaculum, has
ext.hallucis longus tendon on its medial side and deep peroneal nerve and extensor digitorum longus on its lateral side
• On entering the ankle region it becomes dorsalis pedis artery
Anterior tibial artery
• Branches• Muscular branches• Anastomotic branches with branches of other
arteries around knee and ankle joint• Vanea commitantes of anterior tibial artery
joins with those of posterior tibial artery in the popliteal fossa to form popliteal vein
Dorsalis pedis artery• It terminates by passing downward into the sole
between the two heads of 1st dorsal interosseous muscle
• Joins lateral planter artery to form planter arch• Branches1) Lateral tarsal artery2) Arcuate artery (gives off dorsal metatarsal
artery)3) 1st dorsal metatarsal artery
Posterior tibial artery Branches• Peroneal artery• Muscular branch• Nutrient artery to tibia• Anastomotic branch• circumflex fibular branch• malleolar branch• calcaneal branch• terminal branches• Medial & lateral planter arteries
Medial planter artery gives off muscular to the adjoining muscles 3 small superficial digital branches lateral planter artery larger terminal branch ends at the base of 5th metatarsal bone by
continuing with planter arch branches1) muscular branches 2)superficial branches supplying skin & 3)anastomotic branches4) Calcaneal branch
Planter arch• Formed by direct continuation of lateral planter
artery.• Completed medially by dorsalis pedis artery• Extends from base of 5th metatarsal bone to the
proximal part of 1st intermetatarsal space• Lies between 3rd & 4th layer of sole• Accompanied by vanea commitantes & deep
branch of lateral planter nerve
Planter arch
• Branches• 4 planter metatarsal arteries• 3 proximal perforating arteries• Communicate with the dorsal metatarsal
arteries (branches of arcuate artery)• Distal end of each planter metatarsal artery
gives of distal perforating artery
