Hauptarterien der unteren Extremität

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the arterial system in the lower extremity, starting with the common iliac arteries and their bifurcation into internal and external iliac arteries. It details the branches of the internal iliac artery, including the umbilical and obturator arteries, and their roles in supplying the pelvis and lower limbs. The external iliac artery transitions into the femoral artery, which is crucial for thigh circulation. The popliteal artery and its branches around the knee joint are discussed, followed by the tibial arteries that supply the lower leg and foot. The tutorial concludes with the arterial network in the foot, highlighting the dorsalis pedis and plantar arteries.
