- Anterior tibial arteryArteria tibialis anteriorThe artery of the front of the leg, a terminal branch of the popliteal artery that runs down to the ankle and into the foot.
- Arcuate arteryArteria arcuataAn artery that arches laterally across the bases of the metatarsal bones on the back of the foot, arising from the dorsalis pedis.
- Calcaneal branches of fibular arteryRami calcanei arteriae fibularisThe terminal branches of the fibular artery, passing behind the lateral malleolus to supply the lateral and back parts of the heel.
- Calcaneal branches of posterior tibial arteryRami calcanei arteriae tibialis posteriorisSmall branches of the posterior tibial artery near the medial ankle that pierce the flexor retinaculum to supply the medial and plantar heel.
- Common plantar digital arteriesArteriae digitales plantares communesArteries in the forefoot sole that continue the plantar metatarsal arteries and divide at the toe webs into proper plantar digital arteries.
- Deep plantar arteryArteria plantaris profundaA short branch of the dorsalis pedis that plunges into the sole through the first intermetatarsal space to complete the plantar arch.
- Dorsal digital arteries of footArteriae digitales dorsales pedisFine arteries along the backs of the toes, formed where each dorsal metatarsal artery divides at a toe web.
- Dorsal metatarsal arteriesArteriae metatarseae dorsalesFour small arteries on the back of the foot that run along the intermetatarsal spaces and divide into dorsal digital arteries for the toes.
- Dorsalis pedis arteryArteria dorsalis pedisThe main artery on the back of the foot, continuing the anterior tibial artery from the ankle to the first intermetatarsal space.
- Lateral plantar arteryArteria plantaris lateralisThe larger terminal branch of the posterior tibial artery, crossing the sole laterally and then turning medially to form the plantar arch.
- Lateral tarsal arteryArteria tarsea lateralisA branch of the dorsalis pedis that arches laterally across the tarsal bones beneath the short extensor muscles of the foot.
- Medial plantar arteryArteria plantaris medialisThe smaller terminal branch of the posterior tibial artery, running forwards along the inner border of the sole towards the great toe.
- Perforating branches of plantar metatarsal arteriesRami perforantes arteriarum metatarsearum plantariumShort branches that rise from the plantar metatarsal arteries near the toes, passing up between the metatarsals to join the dorsal metatarsal arteries.
- Plantar archArcus plantarisThe deep arterial arch of the sole, where the lateral plantar artery meets the deep plantar artery coming down from the dorsum.
- Plantar metatarsal arteriesArteriae metatarseae plantaresFour arteries arising from the plantar arch that run forwards between the metatarsal bones and divide into plantar digital arteries.
- Posterior tibial arteryArteria tibialis posteriorThe artery of the back of the leg and the sole, arising from the popliteal artery and passing behind the medial malleolus into the foot.
- Proper plantar digital arteriesArteriae digitales plantares propriaeThe end arteries of the toes, running along the plantar sides of each toe from the divisions of the common plantar digital arteries.
- Superficial branch of medial plantar arteryRamus superficialis arteriae plantaris medialisOne of the two terminal branches of the medial plantar artery, supplying the skin and superficial tissues of the medial side of the sole.
