branches

Each divides again into
abaxial & interdigital
branches that go to each sesamoid bone.

Also axial extensor
branches.

29

  • axial palmar digital arteries
35
Q

collateral ulnar & radial arteries branch to the

A

abaxial palmar digital
arteries
axial & abaxial palmar
digital arteries anastomose in terminal arch in each PIII

36

saphenous artery
- lateral & medial plantar arteries
- axial & abaxial digital arteries of each digit

cranial tibial artery
- dorsal metatarsal artery (main supply hind foot)
- dorsal digital artery for each digit
