The correct sequence of blood flow from the heart to the lower limb and back to the heart would start from the common iliac artery (4), then to the external iliac artery (1), followed by the femoral artery (5), the popliteal artery (2), the anterior tibial artery (3), and finally to the dorsalis pedis artery (6). This sequence reflects the typical path of arterial blood descending from the heart to the foot.
