Articular branch of the descending genicular artery

{{ Superior medial and lateral genicular artery
Middle genicular artery (supplies the capsule itself)

Semitendinosus M.
Semimembranosus M.
Hamstring Portion of Adductor Magnus

34
Q

What does the Common fibular Division of the sciatic nerve (L4-S2) innervates?

A

35
Q

When does the popliteal vein become the femoral v.?

A

After traversing adductor hiatus

36
Q

What kind of vein is the small saphenous v. ?

A

Superficial cutaneous vein

37
Q

Where does cutaneous fluid in the posterior thigh drain to?

A

Superficial popliteal nodes along small saphenous v.

38
Q

Where does the deep leg and foot drain to?

A

Deep popliteal nodes along popliteal vein

Q

Where does the proximal drainage from feet and leg go to?

A

Accompanies femoral vein to deep inguinal nodes

Continued drainage follows venous return
