(8) The medial and lateral plantar arteries are the terminal branches of the posterior tibial artery. They arise, under cover of the origin of the abductor hallucis muscle, midway between the tip of the medial malleolus and the most prominent part of the medial side of the os calcis. Arteria Plantaris Medialis.—The medial plantar artery is the smaller of the two terminal branches of the posterior tibial artery. It passes forwards, along the medial side of the foot in the interval between the abductor hallucis and the flexor digitorum brevis, to the head of the first metatarsal bone, where it terminates by uniting with the plantar digital branch of the dorsalis pedis, which is distributed to the medial side of the great toe. In its course forwards it gives off a superficial branch, which ramifies on the superficial surface of the abductor hallucis, and branches to the adjacent muscles and articulations, and to the subjacent skin; it also gives three digital branches which anasto- Metatarsal arteries mosej at fae TOOtS of the medial three interdigital clefts, with the medial plantar metatarsal arteries. Some of the cutaneous branches of the medial plantar artery anastomose, round the medial border of the foot, with the medial cutane- ous branches of the dorsalis pedis artery. Arteria Plantaris Lateralis.—The lateral plantar artery is the larger of the two terminal branches of the posterior tibial artery. It runs forwards and laterally, first between the flexor digitorum brevis superficially and the quadratus plan tee deeply, and then, in the interval between the flexor digitorum brevis and the abductor digiti quinti, to the medial side of the base of the fifth metatarsal bone, where ifeiturns abruptly medially and, gaining a deeper plane, passes across the bases of the metatarsal bones and the ori
