There are two plantar arteries, the medial and lateral. The medial plantar |artery| is smaller than the lateral |artery| and runs along the inside of the sole foot supplying the |abductor hallucis| muscle and the flexor brevis digitorum muscle. It also supplies the big toe. The larger lateral plantar artery runs along the bases of the |metatarsal bones| completing the plantar arch. It supplies the foot and the ~tendons~ of the toes.
