Fill in the blanks with the appropriate artery name. Then place the sentences in order to trace a drop of blood from the heart to the sole of the foot.

1. The blood first leaves the heart through the aorta. 2. Once in the lower abdomen, the aorta branches into the common iliac artery 3. This artery then branches and blood going to the leg travels in the external iliac artery 4. Next it flows into the femoral a. , which is found in the medial thigh. 5. This artery changes names to the popliteal a. when passes through the adductor hiatus and is located in the posterior knee region. 6. The artery then branches. Blood traveling to the sole of the foot would travel in the posterior tibial a..
