Underlying Arteries in Mice and Humans, and Changes in Femoral Artery Occlusion (IMAGE)
Caption
Pathways of the underlying arteries in mice and humans, and changes in femoral artery occlusion (right). When the femoral artery becomes occluded in the mouse, the inferior gluteal artery provides a path around it to the lower leg. In humans, the inferior gluteal artery stops at the buttocks and cannot send blood to the lower leg where it is needed during an occlusion.
