arcuate artery of foot
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0034927
The arcuate artery of the foot (metatarsal artery) arises a little anterior to the lateral tarsal artery; it passes lateralward, over the bases of the metatarsal bones, beneath the tendons of the Extensor digitorum brevis, its direction being influenced by its point of origin; and its anastomoses with the lateral tarsal and lateral plantar arteries. This vessel gives off the second, third, and fourth dorsal metatarsal arteries. It is not present in all individuals. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_artery_of_the_foot ]
