Artery of the Lower Segment

The arteries of the lower segment are an important element of the circulatory system of the human body. They are arteries that supply blood to the lower limbs and pelvic area.

The arteries of the lower segment begin from the aorta, which is the main source of blood for the entire body. They then pass through various parts of the body, including the thighs, legs and feet, where they branch into smaller vessels.

One of the main arteries of the lower segment is the femoral artery, which passes through the thigh and supplies blood to the lower limb. It branches into several smaller arteries that provide nutrition to the muscles, bones and other tissues of the lower limb.

In addition, there are other lower segment arteries such as the popliteal artery, posterior tibial artery, and anterior tibial artery. Each of these arteries is also responsible for supplying blood to the corresponding parts of the lower limb.
