. The anatomy of the frog. Frogs -- Anatomy; Amphibians -- Anatomy. 240 THE VASCULAR SYSTEM. Fig. 158. the tibio-fibula and the M. peroneus to be distributed to the skin of the heeL Above it anastomoses with the A. circumjiexa genu inf. lateralis, and below with the malleolar arteries. d. The Art. malleolaris lateralis (v/t) arises a little beyond the last artery ; it raws outwards under the origin of the 31. flexor tarsi, gives branches to the joint and muscles, and terminates in the skin of the outer border and dorsal surface of the foot. e. The Art. maUeolaris medialis {) arises at about the same level as the Art. maUeolaris lat. from the inner border of the anterior tibial artery. It supplies branches to the joint, gives nu- merous branches to the skin, which anastomose with the Art. snralis, and passes to the inner border of the foot, where it ends by dis- tributing branches to the , the extensor aponeurosis, and, as the Art. cutanea plantaris, to the skin of the sole of the foot. E. The dorsal artery of the foot [Art. dor salis pedis), (Fig. 157 ) runs under the M. flexor tarsi posterior to the point ta*, where it is superficial ; the artery then bifurcates ; the branches are :— a. The Art. tarsea (fr) which arises from the dorsal artery of the foot while under cover of the M. flexor tarsi posterior ; it passes to the M. extensor digiti J and to the skin of the dorsum and outer border of the foot. One branch courses along the outer border of the fifth toe to its tip ; another passes upwards to anastomose with the neighbouring vessels. b. The inner branch, formed by the bifurcation of the dorsal artery of the foot, at once divides to form :— (1) The Art. cutanea halhcis (//) to the supplemental great toe. (2) The Art. interossea dorsalis I {j}), which at once bifurcates to form two Rami digitales for the first and second toes; these inosculate with the Art. cutanea plantaris, and send twigs to the skin of the inner border of the foot. c
