- Synopsis
- This image shows the major arteries in the lower body. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. In the top centre of the page the descending aorta divides into the left and right common iliac arteries. The common iliac arteries then divide into internal and external iliac arteries. The internal arteries are smaller and supply the pelvis. The external arteries supply the whole leg. They go down the page and divide at the knee into anterior and posterior tibial arteries. The outer vessels in each leg are the anterior tibial arteries at the front of the lower leg. The vessels nearer the centre are the posterior tibial arteries at the back of the lower leg. In each leg the external and internal arteries join back together in an arch. Small arteries arise from the arch supplying the toes.
