Question 1

arteries of gluteal region what are they and what muscles do they supply and what ratios do they arise from

Answer 1

Superior gluteal artery - Supplies Gluteus maximus, medius, minmus & Piriformis.
Arises from Internal Illiac artery

Inferior gluteal artery - Supplies Gluteus maximus, all deep gluteal muscles (except obturator ext.)
Arises from Internal Iliac artery

Question 2

Arteries of Anterior Compartment of Thigh what is it, what muscles does it supply, where does it begin and terminate + turn into?

Answer 2

Femoral artery - Supplies the anterior thigh muscles.
Descending genicular artery
It is the continuation of external iliac artery (deep to inguinal ligament).Gives off a branch that becomes the Deep femoral artery/Profundis femoral artery.
Travels through femoral triangle, Adductor Canal -> at Adductor Hiatus the femoral artery continues as the Popliteal artery (termination)

Question 3

Arteries of Posterior Compartment of Thigh, what is it, what does it supply, where does it arise from and when does it terminate

Answer 3

Deep Femoral/Profundis Femoris artery - Supplies the posterior thigh muscles.
Arises from Femoral artery (a collateral branch).
Supplies posterior compartment of thigh (via perforating branches) and terminates as the 4th perforating artery.

Question 4

Arteries of Medial Compartment of Thigh what are they, what muscles do they supply, where do they arise from and where are they terminated

Answer 4

Obturator artery - Supplies the medial thigh muscles.
Arises from internal iliac artery (a collateral branch) -> passes through obturator canal
Terminates into an anterior and posterior branch.

Question 5

van comitantes

Answer 5

when 2 deep veins pair with a single artery in the leg foot or popliteal regions

examples in
- Anterior tibial artery
– Posterior tibial artery
– Fibular/peroneal artery

Question 6

superficial inguinal lymph nodes

Answer 6

Form in two groups, one of which is the upper and the other, lower.

Superior Superficial inguinal lymph nodes
Immediately below the inguinal ligament.
Inferior Superficial inguinal lymph nodes
Lay vertical along terminal part of great saphenous vein.

Question 7

deep inguinal lymphnnodes

Answer 7

lie deep on medial side of femoral vein

Question 8

types of branches 2

Answer 8

Collateral branches – arise
between the origin and
the termination of the
artery e.g. deep femoral
artery
• Terminal branches – arise
at the most distal end of
the artery e.g. Internal
and external iliac arteries

Question 9

what is a neuromuscular bundle?

Answer 9

vein artery and nerve complex

superior/inferior gluteal neuromuscular bundle

Question 10

vascular anatomoses

Answer 10

A vascular anastomosis is a normal
collateral communication, directly
or indirectly, between two blood
vessels
- Three types
1.Arterial
2.Venous
3.Arteriovenous

located in dermis of skin and microscopic

Question 11

trubutaries are?

Answer 11

A vein that drains into a
larger vein

Question 12

more arteries or veins in body?

Answer 12

veins

Question 13

major role of lymphatic system 3

Answer 13

1. Drains excess interstitial fluid
2. Transport dietary lipids
3. Carries out immune responses

Question 14

what artery, nerve and vein is in the adductor canal?

Answer 14

femoral artery, vein and saphenous nerve

Question 15

what artery, vein and nerve is in the femoral triangle

Answer 15

femoral vein, artery nerve

Question 16

the perforating branches of deep femoral artery go around what muscles at the first, second, third branch? and what does it provide

Answer 16

1- adductor brevis
2- nutrient artery of femur
3- hamstrings
4- termination

blood supply to posterior compartment of thigh region

Question 17

are continuing networks where they move into the posterior or anterior compartment considered branches?

Answer 17

no

Question 18

circumflex arteries arise from what artery?

Answer 18

Deep femoral

Question 19

saphenous artery is a branch of what?

Answer 19

descending vehicular artery

Question 20

other than the genicular arteries what other arteries contribute to the network of the knee

Answer 20

anterior tibial artery, lateral circumflex femoral artery
