** '''Saphenous a.''' - arises proximal to the stifle and supplies the skin on the medial aspect of the stifle. It branches into a cranial and caudal branch. This artery and is vessels lie very superficially. The cranial branch gives rise to the '''dorsal common digital arteries''' and the caudal gives rise to the '''plantar common digital arteries'''; both of which supply the foot.
