THE EXTERNAL ILIAC ARTERIES. &13 Popliteal artery.—Thia artery gives an UnimTtaut/emoro-poplileal branch, and enters the tibio-peroneal arch to constitute the anterior tibial artery, after distributing on its course muscular ramiiscules—rudiments of the posterior tibial artery of other auinials. The anterior tibial artery, arriving in front of the hock, detaches the tarsal artery—& voluminous branch, divided near its origin into several superficial superior and inferior branches. It continues to descend, tniverses from before to behind the superior part of the third inter- metatarsal space, ami terminates by an arterial arch situated beneath the flexor tendons ; from this arch emanate ascending divisions, that anastomose with the plantar arteries, and three large descending or digital branches, which aflfect the same disposition as three analogous principal arteries emanating from the superficial palmar arch of the anterior limb. Fig. 374. Comparison of the External Ilucs of Man with those of Animals. In Man, the external iliac forms the external branch of the bifuri-ation of the common iliac; it extends to the crural arch, where it takes the name of femoral artery. It furnishes the cir- cumflexa ilii and epigastric : the latter resembling, in its distribu- tion, the posterior abdominal branch giveu off by the prepubic artery in the Horse. The femoral artery hus the same general disposition as in animals, and almost the same collateral branches. There is no prepubic artery ; the divisions furnished by this trunk in Solipeds originate separately from the femoral artery; these are: the abdominal tegumental artery (superficial epigastric), and the exter- nal pubic arteries—the one resembling the subcutaneous abdominal artery, and the others the branches of the external pudic artery of animals. The popliteal artery is a superficial vessel situated at the posterior face of
