2023年3月18日 · The anterior tibial artery passes through the interosseous membrane to reach the anterior compartment of the leg. It continues to the dorsum of the foot as the dorsalis pedis artery. The tibioperoneal trunk divides into the posterior tibial and peroneal arteries .

It is the pulmonary artery that brings oxygen-poor blood into your lungs and the pulmonary vein that brings oxygen-rich blood back to your heart. In the diagram showing the vasculature of the leg, the vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood are colored red, and the vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood are colored blue.

2025年2月11日 · The cardiovascular system of the leg and foot includes all of the blood vessels that provide blood flow to and from the tissues of the lower limb. These blood vessels supply vital oxygen and nutrients to support cellular metabolism in the lower limb while transporting carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes back to the trunk to be removed from the ...

2024年10月2日 · This part of the interactive atlas of anatomy of the human body is about the arterial vasculature of the pelvic girdle, pelvis, thigh, knee, leg and foot and the study of bones and joints. It includes a 3D reconstruction of bones and arteries from angioCT with injection of a contrast agent (iodine), an angiographic view correlated with the 3D ...

2017年12月8日 · The venous system is divisible into deep and superficial systems with more blood traveling in the deep system. The deep system consists of venae comitantes distally in the limb, with single popliteal veins and femoral veins paralleling the arteries back to the iliac system.

2023年12月9日 · The bony pelvis and lower limbs receive their vascular supply from the distal continuations of the right and left common iliac arteries.
