The deep femoral artery gives off the following branches: Lateral circumflex femoral artery. [1] [2] Medial circumflex femoral artery. [1] [2] 3 perforating arteries that perforate the adductor magnus muscle to the posterior and medial compartments of the thigh to connect with the branches of the popliteal artery behind the knee.
The femoral artery gives off the deep femoral artery and descends along the anteromedial part of the thigh in the femoral triangle. It enters and passes through the adductor canal , and becomes the popliteal artery as it passes through the adductor hiatus in the adductor magnus near the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the thigh.

Gray1146: Femoral vessels as they pass under the inguinal ligament. The femoral vessels are those blood vessels passing through the femoral ring into the femoral canal [1] thereby passing down the length of the thigh until behind the knee. These large vessel are the: Femoral artery (also known in this location as the common femoral artery) and ...
It receives drainage from great saphenous vein, circumflex veins, and veins corresponding to the branches of the femoral artery here. [2] Deep inguinal lymph nodes - It lies deep to the deep fascia, medial to the upper part of the femoral vein, inside the femoral canal (medial compartment of the femoral sheath). Cloquet's node (also known as ...
The deep branch runs obliquely upward upon the tendon of the obturator externus and in front of the quadratus femoris toward the trochanteric fossa, where it anastomoses with twigs from the superior gluteal artery and inferior gluteal artery.
The third perforating artery (a. perforans tertia) is given off below the Adductor brevis; it pierces the Adductor magnus, and divides into branches which supply the posterior femoral muscles; anastomosing above with the higher perforating arteries, and below with the terminal branches of the profunda and the muscular branches of the popliteal.
