Q

Path of Media Circumflex Femoral Artery

A

Passes posteriomedially around the shaft of the femur between pectineous and iliopsoas, then between obturator externus and adductor brevis muscles. Small branch enters hip joint to supply femur head/neck then anastamoses with acetabular branch of obturator artery/inferior gluteal artery/1st perforating artery/lateral circumflex femoral artery

Q

Umbilical Artery

A

Is only present en utero. Turns into the medial umbilical ligament

18
Q

Superior Vesicular Artery

A

Arises from inferior surface of umbilical artery. Descends to supply the supolateral bladder. Can also supply ductus deferens in males

19
Q

Obturator Artery

A

Enters medial compartment of thigh via obturator canal. Bifurcates into anterior/posterior. Anastomoses with inferior gluteal artery/medial circ femoral artery. Acetabular branch comes off to supply fovea of head of femur

20
Q

Anterior branch of obturator artery

A

Supplies pectineus, obturator externus, adductor muscles, gracilis

21
Q

Posterior branch of obturator artery

A

Supplies some deep gluteal muscles

22
Q

Inferior Vesical Artery/Vaginal Artery

A

Courses towards fundus of bladder. Supplies bladder, seminal vesicles, and prostate

23
Q

Middle Rectal Artery

A

Courses medially to supply the rectum. Anastomoses with superior rectal/inferior rectal

24
Q

Internal Pudendal Artery

A

Passes thru greater sciatic foramen inferior to piriformis muscle, passes lesser sciatic foramen to enter perineum (main artery). Supplies erectile tissue of clitoris and penis

25
Q

Inferior Gluteal Artery

A

Passes b/t anterior rami of S1/2 OR S2/3. Leaves pelvic cavity via greater sciatic foramen inferior to piriformis. Large/terminal branch of anterior trunk of internal iliac artery

26
Q

Posterior Division of Internal Iliac Artery Branches

A

Iliolumbar, Lateral Sacral, Superior Gluteal

27
Q

Iliolumbar Artery

A

Supplies posterior abdominal wall, psoas, quadratus lumborum, cauda equine, iliac fossa

28
Q

Lateral Sacral Arteries

A

Runs along pelvic wall, gives rise to branches that pass anterior to sacral foramina

29
Q

Superior Gluteal Artery

A

Largest branch of internal iliac artery. Terminal continuation of posterior trunk. Runs posteriorly, passing thru lumbosacral trunk/anterior ramus S1, enters gluteal region via greater sciatic foramen

30
Q

Adductor Canal

A

Fascial compartment deep to sartorius muscle. Descends from apex of femoral triangle, medially down thigh, posteriorly thru aperature in adductor magnus, into popliteal fossa. Contains femoral artery/vein and 2 branches of femoral nerve

31
Q

Popliteal Fossa Contents

A

Popliteal artery/vein, Tibial nerve, common fibular nerve, Plantaris/popliteus muscles, popliteal lymph nodes

32
Q

Popliteal artery pathway

A

Continuation of femoral artery, passes from adductor canal, thru hiatius, divides into anterior/posterior tibial arteries.

33
Q

Popliteal vein

A

Extends into the adductor hiatus to become femoral vein, receives small saphenous vein

34
Q

Boundaries of popliteal Fossa

A

Superolateral: biceps femoris. Superomedial: semitendinosus and semimembranosus. Interior: gastrocneumius heads (lateral/medial). Posterior: Popliteal fascia/skin. Anterior: Femur, joint capsule, tibia.

35
Q

Genicular Arteries

A

Branches of popliteal arteries. Form arterial anastomoses around the knee joint.

36
Q

Posterior Tibial Artery

A

Larger of the 2 popliteal artery branches. Supplies posterior/lateral compartments of the leg. Distal between superficial and deep compartments of posterior leg. Passes thru tarsal tunnel behind medial malleolus into the sole of the foot

37
Q

Fibular artery

A

Arises from posterior tibial artery distal to inferior border of popliteus muscle. Runs between tibilais posterior and flexor hallucis.

38
Q

Medial Plantar Artery

A

Runs under abductor hallucis, then b/t it and flexor digitorum brevis.

39
Q

Anterior Tibial Artery

A

Horizontal portion of bifurcation of popliteal artery. Passes thru IO membrane to run anteriorly b/t tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus. Becomes dorsalis pedis artery in the foot

40
Q

Small Saphenous Vein

A

Formed posterior to lateral malleolus, ascends posteriorly up the leg.

41
Q

Great Saphenous Vein

A
