The artery, which supplies the dorsum of the foot,is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery, which, as was stated on page471, becomes quite superficial at the lower third of the leg (Figs. 138 and152). It passes beneath the annular ligament, becoming the dorsalispedis artery, the main artery passing to the inner side of the head of thefirst metatarsal bone and giving off a transverse branch which runs to theouter border of the foot, and which, in turn, sends off digital interosseousbranches for each toe, similar to the blood-supply of the hand. Thelymphatics of the dorsum of the foot along its outer border empty intothe popliteal glands. Those along the inner border, accompanying thesaphenous vein, empty into the inguinal nodes (Fig. 59). The nerve-supply of the skin is derived from the musculocutaneous (superficial.
