Question 4

pathway of femoral artery

Answer 4

disappears at lower edge of fem triangle (covered by sartorius)

will enter abductor tunnel then travel to the post side of the knee

now called popliteal artery

Answer 5

Ant tibial artery–> dorsal pedis artery

Post tibial artery–> medial + lat plantar arteries

lat circumflex
medial circumflex

Question 9

what are the branches of the lat circumflex

Answer 9

1. Ascending (greater trochanter)
2. Transverse
3. descending (goes as low as knee)

Question 10

what are the branches of the medial circumflex

Answer 10

1. acetabular
2. ascending- blood supply for neck (astemoses w other ascending)
3. transverse- escricles proximal femur (astemoses w other transverse)
