Study Notes
Profunda Femoris (Deep Femoral) Artery
- Originates from the femoral artery, which is the largest branch.
- Terminates as the 4th perforating artery.
Branches of Profunda Femoris Artery
- Muscular branch: Supplies blood to the adductor muscles.
- Articular (acetabular) branch: Supplies blood to the head of the femur.
Femoral Artery
- Main artery of the lower limb.
Branches of Femoral Artery
- Lateral circumflex femoral artery:
- Divides into three branches: ascending, transverse, and descending.
- Medial circumflex femoral artery:
- Divides into two branches: ascending and one unnamed branch.
Tributaries of the Saphenous Vein
- The Great (Long) Saphenous Vein drains the lateral side of the foot, ankle, and back of the leg.
- The Small Saphenous Vein is another tributary of the Saphenous Vein system.
Formation of the Popliteal Vein
- The Popliteal Vein is formed by the union of venae commitants of both the anterior and posterior tibial arteries.
- The Popliteal Vein is located near the Popliteal fascia.
Great (Long) Saphenous Vein
- The Great (Long) Saphenous Vein begins at the medial end of the dorsal venous arch of the foot.
- It is also located near the tibial n. retinaculum and inferior ext. retinaculum.
Peroneal Retinaculae
- Definition: Thickened bands of deep fascia at the lateral aspect of the ankle joint.
- The Peroneal Retinaculae are located near the Dorsalis pedis vessels.
