Blood Supply Flashcards
main blood supply to the anterior thigh
Profunda Femoral Artery
main blood supply to the posterior thigh
4 Perforating branches of the Profunda Femoral artery
the perforating branches travel through:
adductor magnus
Blood supply to the hip
medial femoral circumflex artery
lateral femoral circumflex artery
Femoral artery comes from:
external iliac artery
internal iliac branches into
superior gluteal artery and inferior gluteal artery to the hip
great saphenous vein drains from and into:
anterior
femoral vein
lesser saphenous vein drains from and into
posterior
popliteal vein
main artery to the hip
internal iliac
gluteus max gets:
superior and inferior gluteal vessels
Glut min
Glut Med and
TFL gets:
superior only!
secondary blood supply to head of femur
acetabular branch of obturator artery
Hip Blood Supply
Femoral artery splits into:
Medial and Lateral Circumflex arteries
Primary blood supply
Medial circumflex artery
blood supply to medial thigh
muscular branches of Profunda Fem. Artery
Femoral A and V continue distally and travel through:
adductor canal and adductor hiatus
Obturator A. splits around what muscle
Obturator Externus into anterior and posterior branches
blood supply to hamstrings is primarily via
perforating branches of Profunda femoral a
upper portions of the hamstrings receive
Inferior Gluteal vessels
major blood supply to posterior leg is
Popliteal Artery and branches
in the popliteal fossa the popliteal artery gives off branches:
genicular branches and sural branches
Genicular branches of popliteal artery supply
collateral circulation to the knee
