The dissector's guide, or, Student's companion : illustrated by numerous woodcuts, clearly exhibiting and explaining the dissection of every part of the human body . arterymay be said to pass between thehead or origin of this muscle. Theartery then runs down close uponthe middle of the interosseous liga-ment, between the tibialis anticusand extensor proprius pollicis; be-low the middle of the leg, it leavesthe interosseous ligament, and passesgradually more forwards; it crossesunder the tendon of the extensorproprius pollicis, and is then situ-ated between that tendon and thetendon of the extensor longus digitorum. At the ankle it runs over thefore part of the tibia, being now situated more superficially ; then overthe aslrao-alus and os naviculare, and over the junction of the os cunei-forme internum and medium, cropsing under that tendon of the extensorbrevis digitorum which goes to the great toe. Arriving at the spacebetween the bases of the two first metatarsal bones, it divides into threebranches, one of which plunges into the sole of the foot, and immedi-ately joins the plantar arch. The following diagram is intended to facilitate the knowl-. —-3 edge of the branches of this vessel. 22 THE DISSECTORS GUIDE. 1. The anterior tibial artery, sent offfrom the popliteal. 2. It passing through the interosseousligament. The anterior tibial , descend-ing on the anterior part of the leg. 4. The continued trunk of the arterytermed the dorsal artery. 5. The vessel terminating at the spacebetween the metatarsal bones of thegreat and second toe, by dividing intothree branches. C. The ramus anastomoticus, runningbetween the bines, to anastomose withthe external plantar artery, a branch ofthe posterior tibial. 7. The branch to the great toe. 8. The branch to the second toe. 9. Muscular branches, sent off beforethe vessels pass through the interosseousligament. 10. The recurrent branch. 11. Muscular and nutritious branches. 12. The external malleolar arteiy. 13.
