33
Q

Describe the route of the popliteal artery.

A

The popliteal artery descends down the posterior thigh, giving off genicular branches that supply the knee joint.

At the lower border of the popliteus, the popliteal artery terminates by dividing into anterior and posterior tibial arteries.

The anterior tibial - dorsalis pedis artery in the foot
The posterior tibial - fibular artery

34
Q

Which muscles evert and which invert?

A
· Eversion muscles:
	pEroneus longus
	pEroneus brevis
	pEroneus terius
· Inversion muscles:
	tIbialis anterior
	tIbialis posterior
