The '''coronal artery''' arises from the digital artery or the bulbar artery to supply the heel and perioplic corium. The coronal artery then anastamoses with branches from the '''dorsal artery of the middle phalanx'''. The dorsal artery of the middle phalanx arises from each digital artery in the mid-region of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]], forming the '''coronary arterial circle'''; as the palmar and dorsal branches anastamose to form a complete arterial circle around the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Middle Phalanx|middle phalanx]]. This coronary arterial circle supplies the [[Joints and Ligaments - Horse Anatomy#Distal Interphalangeal (Coffin) Joint|distal interphalangeal]] (coffin) joint, [[Tendons - Horse Anatomy#Extensors|common digital extensor tendon]], perioplic and coronary corium, fascia and skin. | The '''coronal artery''' arises from the digital artery or the bulbar artery to supply the heel and perioplic corium.
