Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the location of the dorsalis pedis artery. This artery is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery and is found on the dorsal aspect of the foot.
Understand the anatomical terminology: 'dorsalis' refers to the dorsal or top side, and 'pedis' refers to the foot. Therefore, the dorsalis pedis artery is located on the top of the foot.
Consider the options provided: Ankle, Back of the knee, Foot, Calf. The dorsalis pedis artery is not associated with the ankle, back of the knee, or calf.
Recognize that the dorsalis pedis artery is specifically associated with the foot, as it supplies blood to the dorsal part of the foot.
