Proximal to distal (arterial) - aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, (trifurcation to) perneal, anterior and posterior tibial, deep plantar, dorsal digital. Distal to proximal (venous) - dorsal digital, great saphenous, external iliac, common iliac, inferior vena cava Proximal to distal (arterial) - aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, (trifurcation to) perneal, anterior and posterior tibial, deep plantar, dorsal digital. Distal to proximal (venous) - dorsal digital, great saphenous, external iliac, common iliac, inferior vena cava
Where is the artery in the leg located?
The femoral artery.
Which area of the body is affected when a person has plantar fasciitis?
The heel of the foot and the Plantar fascia. The Plantar fascia is a connective tissue on the bottom of the foot that runs from the heel to the toes. The plantar fascia is a relatively inflexible, strong, fibrous band on the bottom of the foot. The plantar fascia helps maintain the complex arch system of the foot, it helps to absorb shock, plays a role in one's balance and in the various phases of gait.
