The ~anterior~ and ~posterior~ tibial arteries branch from the popliteal |artery| and supply ~blood~ to the lower leg and foot. The posterior tibial artery is a large |artery| that runs down the leg to the foot where it branches into the internal and external plantar arteries (arteries of the sole of the foot). The interior tibial |artery| becomes the |dorsal pedis artery| at the ankle joint.
