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.
