ASIS to public tubercle
What does the external iliac artery (and its distal branches) supply?
Entire free lower limb
What do the branches of the internal iliac artery supply?
Hip
Gluteal region
Medial thigh region
Name changes of main blood supply vessel as travels down thigh?
Where are demarcations/landmarks?
Aorta
Common iliac a./v/
(just above sacrum)
External iliac a./v.
(at sacrum)
Femoral a./v.
(inf. to inguinal lig.)
Popliteal a./v.
(post. to knee)
Where does external iliac a. / Femoral a. pass relative to inguinal ligament?
Post. to inguinal lig. (deep)
(Through)
Where does Popliteal a./v. pass through before it can travel post. to knee?
Adductor hiatus
What superficial vein runs vertically post. to leg?
Small saphenous vein

Where is this vein located?
Popliteal vein
Popliteal opening (Post. to knee)
What is the arch that links the great and small saphenous veins in the foot?
Dorsal venous arch
What superficial vein runs along the medial leg, knee, and thigh?
Great saphenous vein
Where does great saphenous vein drain into?
Through where? Why?
Femoral vein
Saphenous opening in deep fascia (sup. lat. to genitalia)
Since vein is superficial to fascia lata
