With 60 lower limbs of adults studied angioarchitectonics of the dorsalis pedis artery and its main branches. We distinguished 3 variants of the dorsalis pedis artery angioarchitectonics - straight, with the medial and lateral bends. Moreover, for each of them can be characterized by specific topographo-anatomical relationships of their branches to the bones and joints of the foot. It was proved that the location of the dorsalis pedis artery trunk influence on the levels of it divergence and the amount of its branches. The morphometrical study shows a wide range of differences between the minimal and maximal values of the internal diameters of both the dorsalis pedis artery and its main branches. The average values of cured inner diameters of arteries were indicated. Grossly visible anastomoses between the branches of the dorsalis pedis artery are normally absent except for the well pronounced anastomosis revealed only between plantar branch of the dorsalis pedis artery and the lateral plantar artery.
