Answer #1

The blood vessel, popliteal artery participates in supply of blood to collateral circulation. It is a blood vessel that is formed in continuation to the femoral artery and pass through the adductor hiatus.

The pulse point of the anterior tibial artery is just superior to the anterior aspect of the ankle joint, which is present between the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus tendons.

The pulse point of the dorsalis pedis artery can be palpated readily at lateral side of extersor hallucis longus tendons, on the dorsal surface of the foot.
