Dorsalis pedis artery is a branch of what artery?
The Aorta has a vein that runs from the heart to the right foot, hence the Dorsalis pedis.
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.
What is the pulse on the foot?
Dorsalis pedis (top of foot) & Posterior tibial (behind ankle on inside of foot)
What is the function of the anterior tibial artery?
Dorsalis paedis
Where can pulse not be felt?
Carotid Artery, Radial Artery, Brachial Artery, Femoral Artery, Popliteal Artery, Posterior Tibial Artery, Dorsalis Pedis Artery. These are the main ones that are checked.

What artery is palpated on the dorsum of the foot?
Dorsalis pedis artery
What artery of the dorsum of the foot is checked after leg surgery?
The foot pulses are checked after Vascular or Orthopaedic surgery, and the pulses of the dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial are checked manually or using a Doppler
What is the artery on the dorsum of the foot checked after leg surgery?
The artery is called dorsalis pedis artery
Artery on the dorum of the foot checked after leg surgery?
Dorsalis pedis.
What is the artery present in only 20 percent of the population?

Dorsalis pedis (top of foot) & Posterior tibial (behind ankle on inside of foot)
Which pulse pressure point has the greatest amplitude and why?
The common carotid artery - because it's closest to the heart.
What is the arterial network on the dorsum of the foot?
The arterial network on the dorsum of the foot is called dorsalis pedis. This network is responsible for carrying oxygenated blood to the dorsal surface of the foot.
What is the function of the anterior tibial artery?
Dorsalis paedis
How do you trace the blood from the femoral artery to the right big toe?
Blood flow in the leg begins at the femoral artery. From there, it runs to the popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, dorsalis pedis artery, and finally, the dorsal metatarsal arteries.
