The document discusses the arterial blood supply to the hind limb of animals. It provides an overview of the major arteries including the caudal tibial, saphenous, caudal femoral, and plantar arteries. A schematic shows the external iliac, femoral, popliteal, cranial tibial, dorsal pedal, and dorsal metatarsal arteries as the major arterial supply to the hind limb. The document also notes that the dorsal metatarsal III (great metatarsal artery) is the main blood supply to the plantar digital vessels and crosses between the third and fourth metatarsals.
