Located in superficial fascia on medial side of leg

Question 18

Femoral vein

Answer 18

Runs with femoral a.
Becomes popliteal v. after adductor canal

Answer 19

Comes off of profunda femoris (deep femoral a.)
Goes laterally around femur
Gives off ascending, transverse, & descending branches

Medial femoral circumflex a.

Answer 20

Comes off profunda femoris (deep femoral a.) (sometimes off femoral a.)
Goes medially around femor

Question 21

Profunda femoris a.

Answer 21

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

Question 22

Descending genicular a.

Answer 22

Branch of femoral a.
Supplies knee
Comes off just before femoral dives behind knee & becomes popliteal a.

Question 23

Obturator a.

Answer 23

Branch of internal iliac a.

Comes out of obturator canal with nerve & goes to medial thigh

Question 24

Small saphenous v.

Answer 24

Begins at lateral side of foot
Ascends along posterior medial leg
Drains into popliteal vein posterior to knee joint

Question 25

Popliteal a.

Answer 25

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

Question 26

Anterior tibial a.

Answer 26

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)

Question 27

Anterior medial & lateral malleolar a.

Answer 27

Last 2 branches of anterior tibial a. | Wrap around malleolus

Question 28

Dorsalis pedis a.

Answer 28

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.

Question 29

Posterior tibial a.

Answer 29

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.

Question 30

Peroneal a.

Answer 30

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.

Question 31

Arcuate a.

Answer 31

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.)

Question 32

Deep plantar a.

Answer 32

One of two terminal branches of dorsalis pedis a. | Goes to plantar side & joins with deep plantar a. of lateral plantar a.

Question 33

First dorsal metatarsal a.

Answer 33

One of two terminal branches of dorsalis pedis a. | Gives rise to 1, 2, & 3 dorsal digital a.

Question 34

Dorsal venous arch

Answer 34

Veins from venous plexus in foot | Dorsal metatarsal veins (4) & dorsal digital veins

Question 35

Medial & lateral marginal veins

Answer 35

Medial marginal v. becomes great saphenous v. | Lateral marginal v. passes behind lateral malleolus & continues as small saphenous v.

Question 36

Medial plantar a.

Answer 36

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.

Question 37

Lateral plantar a.

Answer 37

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.

Question 38

Deep plantar arch

Answer 38

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.
