Genicular arteries: anastomose around knee joint
Femoral artery through adductor hiatus > popliteal artery

sole of foot
Gives off fibular artery to lateral compartment
Goes behind medial malleolus to sole of foot > medial and lateral plantar
Lateral plantar swings laterally then turns to create arch - connects with dorsalis
pedis
Posterior tibial
At inferior border of popliteus, bifurcates into
Contains artery, vein, femoral canal (contains deep inguinal lymph nodes/vessels and
fat)
Femoral canal has a funnel shape: femoral ring forms mouth, then blends with
adventitia of vessels
Boundaries of femoral ring: lateral vein, medial lacunar ligament, anterior inguinal
ligament, posterior floor of femoral triangle = pectineus

Document Summary

Abdominal aorta > common iliac > internal/external iliac. External iliac goes under inguinal ligament > femoral artery. Profunda femoris on adductor magnus ant/post femoral circumflex (ant thigh muscles) Perforating vessels through adductor magnus to supply hamstrings. Femoral artery through adductor hiatus > popliteal artery. Anterior tibial > under extensor retinaculum > dorsalis pedis > pierces first web space > sole of foot. Goes behind medial malleolus to sole of foot > medial and lateral plantar. Lateral plantar swings laterally then turns to create arch - connects with dorsalis pedis. Contains artery, vein, femoral canal (contains deep inguinal lymph nodes/vessels and fat) Femoral canal has a funnel shape: femoral ring forms mouth, then blends with adventitia of vessels. Boundaries of femoral ring: lateral vein, medial lacunar ligament, anterior inguinal ligament, posterior floor of femoral triangle = pectineus.
