What is the artery palpated on the dorsum of the foot?
In the human, the dorsalis pedis artery is the blood vessel carrying oxygen to the dorsal or upper surface of the foot. To feel or palpate the dorsalis pedis pulse, place the fingers mid foot where the ankle meets the foot. Dorsiflexion (toes up - not pointed down) increases the chances of feeling this pulse.
Does the common femoral vein lie medial or lateral to the common femoral artery?
The common femoral vein is medial to the common femoral artery. The common femoral artery lies farther from the body's midline.
What branches into medial ulnar and lateral radial arteries?

What is the function of the internal iliac artery?

Which pulse you located behind the medial malleolus?
The posterior tibial artery pulse is located behind the medial malleolus, just below the posterior tibial tendon. This pulse can be palpated to assess circulation in the lower extremity.
What structure on the tibia contributes to the ankle joint?
The medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus are bony prominences on the tibia that help form the ankle joint. They provide stability to the joint and serve as attachment points for ligaments that support the ankle.
Does the small saphenous vein begin on the posterior of the lateral malleolus of the fibula or the medial malleolus of the tibia?

Which bone is medial ankle projection?

What is the alignment of the medial and lateral malleoli relative to each other?
The medial malleolus is located more distally and anteriorly compared to the lateral malleolus. The two malleoli form an asymmetrical alignment with the medial malleolus extending further down than the lateral malleolus.
Briely describe the the location of posterior tibial artery pulses?
The posterior tibial artery pulses are located behind the medial malleolus (ankle bone) on the inner aspect of the ankle. They are usually palpated just below the ankle joint medial to the Achilles tendon. The pulses can be assessed by gently pressing with the fingers to feel the pulsation.
4 The medial malleolus is located on the distal end of what bone?
I think they are inner and outer ankle The Medial malleolus if found on the Tibia and the Lateral malleolus is found on the Fibula. The ankle connect to the Medial and Lateral malleolus.
What is the name of the process on the distal portion of the tibia?
The malleolus. The "inner" process is called the medial malleolus, and the "outer" process is called the lateal malleolus.
Which bones form lateral and medial malleolus?
The lateral malleolus is formed by the fibula, while the medial malleolus is formed by the tibia. These bony protrusions are located on each side of the ankle joint, providing stability and support to the joint.
Is malleolus singular plural or both?
Singular. Malleoli is the plural form. ie "the left medial malleolus", or "both medial malleoli"
Is the tibia the medial bulge at your ankle a projection?
