ARTERIA DIGITALIS DORSALIS Meaning and Definition

1. The term "arteria digitalis dorsalis" is a Latin phrase translated into English as "dorsal digital artery." It refers to a specific blood vessel in the human body.

   An artery is a type of blood vessel that transports oxygenated blood away from the heart to various parts of the body, ensuring the delivery of nutrients and removal of waste products. Arteries have thick, muscular walls that can withstand the high pressure exerted by the heart's contractions.

   The term "digitalis" relates to the fingers or toes, as it comes from the Latin word "digitus". Therefore, the "arteria digitalis" specifically pertains to the arteries supplying blood to the fingers or toes.

   The adjective "dorsalis" originates from the Latin word "dorsum," meaning back. Hence, the "arteria digitalis dorsalis" refers to the dorsal digital artery, which runs along the back surface of the digits. This artery branches out from more substantial arteries in the hand or foot and supplies blood to the upper and lower extremities, respectively.

   The dorsal digital artery plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal blood circulation to the fingers or toes, facilitating their normal function and sensation. Any disruption in the blood flow through this artery can lead to various issues, such as decreased sensation, impaired healing, or tissue death.

2. One of the collateral digital branches of the metatarseae dorsales in the foot, and of the metacarpeae dorsales in the hand.
