Supplies external genitalia
Femoral a.
External Iliac as it crosses under inguinal ligament
Gives off superficial circumflex iliac, superficial epigastric, external pudendal a., lateral femoral circumflex, medial femoral circumflex, & profunda femoris
Superficial epigastric a.
Branch of femoral a.
Crosses over inguinal canal & supplies skin over lower abdominal wall
Superficial circumflex iliac a.
Branch of femoral a.
Laterally inferior to inguinal ligament
External pudendal a.
Branch of femoral a.
Supplies external genitalia
Great saphenous vein
Begins in foot & empties into femoral vein inferior to inguinal ligament
Located in superficial fascia on medial side of leg
Femoral vein
Runs with femoral a.
Becomes popliteal v. after adductor canal
Recieves Great sapenous v. & deep femoral v. (profunda femoral v.)
Lateral femoral circumflex a.
Comes off of profunda femoris (deep femoral a.)
Goes laterally around femur
Gives off ascending, transverse, & descending branches
Medial femoral circumflex a.
Comes off profunda femoris (deep femoral a.) (sometimes off femoral a.)
Goes medially around femor
Profunda femoris a.
Deep femoral a.
Major branch of femoral a.
Has 4 perforating branches that go to back of thigh
4th perforating branch is extension/termination of profunda
Descending genicular a.
Branch of femoral a.
Supplies knee
Comes off just before femoral dives behind knee & becomes popliteal a.
Obturator a.
Branch of internal iliac a.
Comes out of obturator canal with nerve & goes to medial thigh
Small saphenous v.
Begins at lateral side of foot
Ascends along posterior medial leg
Drains into popliteal vein posterior to knee joint
Popliteal a.
After femoral a. exits adductor hiatus, becomes popliteal a.
Runs behind knee joint until branches into Posterior tibial a. & Peroneal a.
Gives off Anterior tibial a., & Genicular arteries
Anterior tibial a.
Branch of popliteal a.
Enters anterior compartment by passing through superior part of interosseous membrane & runs deep with Deep peroneal n.
Supplies muscles of anterior & lateral leg
Gives rise to Tibial recurrent a., anterior medial malleolar a., anterior lateral malleolar a., & dorsalis pedis (termination of anterior tibial)
Anterior medial & lateral malleolar a.
Last 2 branches of anterior tibial a.
Wrap around malleolus
Dorsalis pedis a.
Continuation of anterior tibial a. after passing under superior extensor retinaculum
Terminates as Deep plantar a. & 1st dorsal metatarsal a.
Supplies dorsal foot - branches into Lateral & medial tarsal a., & Arcuate a.
Posterior tibial a.
Terminating branch of popliteal a.
Supplies medial posterior leg
Gives rise to Circumflex fibular a., posterior medial malleolar a., & medial calcaneal a.
Communicating a. joins it to peroneal a.
Terminates in foot as medial & lateral plantar aa.
Peroneal a.
Branch of popliteal a.
Supplies lateral posterior leg & lateral leg muscles
Communicating a. joins it to posterior tibial a.
Gives branches to Posterior lateral malleolar a. & posterior lateral calcaneal a.
Arcuate a.
Branch of dorsalis pedis a. (not terminal branch)
travels laterally across bases of metatarsals
Gives off 3 dorsal metatarsal a. (2-4)
Each dorsal metatarsal a. gives off 2 dorsal digital a.
(10th dorsal digital is branch of 4th dorsal metatarsal a.)
Deep plantar a.
One of two terminal branches of dorsalis pedis a.
Goes to plantar side & joins with deep plantar a. of lateral plantar a.
First dorsal metatarsal a.
One of two terminal branches of dorsalis pedis a.
Gives rise to 1, 2, & 3 dorsal digital a.
Dorsal venous arch
Veins from venous plexus in foot
Dorsal metatarsal veins (4) & dorsal digital veins
Medial & lateral marginal veins
Medial marginal v. becomes great saphenous v.
Lateral marginal v. passes behind lateral malleolus & continues as small saphenous v.
Medial plantar a.
Terminating branch of posterior tibial a.
Passes between abductor hallucis & flexor digitorum brevis
Superficial branch supplies medial side of big toe (first proper plantar digital a.)
Deep branch connects medial plantar a. to deep plantar arch.
Lateral plantar a.
Terminating branch of posterior tibial a.
Passes under abductor hallucis & runs obliquely across foot to lateral side
At base of 5th metatarsal a. passes medially as deep plantar a.
Deep plantar arch
Provides 4 plantar metatarsal a.
Each plantar metatarsal a. divides into 2 proper plantar digital a. to supply each toe
Joins with deep branch of medial plantar a. & deep plantar branch of dorsalis pedis a.
10th proper plantar digital a. is terminal branch of lateral plantar a.
