Preferred Label : tibial arteries;
MeSH definition : The anterior and posterior arteries created at the bifurcation of the popliteal artery.
The anterior tibial artery begins at the lower border of the popliteus muscle and
lies along the tibia at the distal part of the leg to surface superficially anterior
to the ankle joint. Its branches are distributed throughout the leg, ankle, and foot.
The posterior tibial artery begins at the lower border of the popliteus muscle, lies
behind the tibia in the lower part of its course, and is found situated between the
medial malleolus and the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity. Its branches
are distributed throughout the leg and foot.;
