‘Each EXTERNAL FLANK ARTERY gives off five branches: 1. The 
‘side sacred arteries, three or four in number. 2. The buttock, 
which ramify about the haunch-bone, and supply the buttock mus-— 
eles. 3. The artery of the hip-bone, which turns downwards along 
the hip and gives off the point-bone artery. 4. The front, or share : 
artery, which is sometimes a branch of the sciatic artery ; it proceeds 
out of the pelvis, through the sciatic notch, returns into the pelvis, 
and runs towards the union of the front bones. In its course it 
‘gives off branches to the little seed vessels, the gland at the neck 
of the bladder , and the lewer pile artery to the anus, then forms the 
artery between the thigh and the penis arteries, which proceed one 
on each side ; and a branch which plunges deep into the substance 
és through the oval hole, 
of the penis, 5. The hardener, which passes thro 
and is Uistributed on the thick muséles of the thigh. “= 
Each eExreena Fink gives off—1. The lower belly artery, which 
is reflected from Poupart’s ligament upward along the abdomen. 2 — 
The circular flank artery, runs along the crest haunch of the bone. 
The external flank then passes under Poupart’s ligament, becomes F 
the thigh artery, and is continued along the thigh into the ham ar- — 
tery. In this course it gives off near the groin—Il. The deep artery _ 
of the thigh, which gives off the first, second, third and fourth per- 
forating arteries, which supply the muscles of the thigh. The thig 
artery then makes a spiral turn round the thigh bone, and sends off 
small branches to adjacent muscles. About two hands breadth 
from the knee, it gives out—2. The great joining branch, which 
_Yamifies about the knee joint. — re 
_ The thigh artery having reached the ham, it is called 
artery, which gives off several small branches about the joint, ; 
divides beiow the ham into the front shin and back shin arteries. 
The rronr suin artery soon perforates the bony ligament, and 
passes along the shin over the bones of the base of the foot, and there 
joins with the back artery. In this course it gives off—I. The re- 
current, which unites with the joint branches of the ham: it then 
sends off smail branches to the muscles as it passes down the leg. 
2. The inner ancle artery, about theinner ancle._ 3..The outer 
ancle artery. 4. The instep artery. 5, The foot artery, about = 
tendons of the foot bones. 6, The back external great toe arte 
which runs along the foot bone of the greattoe. 
The pack suin artery passes along the back part of the bone, goes 
round the inner anele and divides at the heel into the sole of the. 
foot arteries. In this course it sends off—1. The nourishing artery 
of the shin, which gives branches to the ham, front shin, and sole of 
the foot muscles, before it enters the bone. 2. Many small branches, 
as it passes downwards. 3. Inner sole of the foot artery, runs 
on the inner edge of the sole of the foot, and sends four branches about 
the foot. 4. External.sole of the foot, which forms an arch and 
+ 5 
s with the front shin artery, and gives off the toe branches,
