At its origin, it gives off the medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries, and during its course it gives off three perforating arteries. [14] Superficial femoral artery. The descending genicular artery is a small branch that arises from the femoral artery near its termination within the adductor canal. It assists in supplying the knee joint.
Just inferolateral to the pubic tubercle the fascia extends downwards forming an arched (falciform) margin of the lateral boundary of the opening. It is covered by a thin perforated part of the superficial fascia called the fascia cribrosa which is pierced by the great saphenous vein, the 3 superficial branches of the femoral artery (except superficial circumflex iliac artery, which pierces ...
Correct position of superior and inferior epigastric vessels. Corrections of arrows of external iliac vessels. Added muscular branches from deep femoral artery (after deleted an inexistent medial artery).

The medial femoral circumflex artery (with its branches) supplies arterial blood to several muscles, including: the adductor muscles of the hip, gracilis muscle, [1] [3] pectineus muscle, [3] and external obturator muscle. [1] It delivers most of the arterial supply to the femoral head and femoral neck via branches - the posterior retinacular ...
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.
In anatomy, arterial tree is used to refer to all arteries and/or the branching pattern of the arteries. This article regards the human arterial tree. Starting from the aorta :
Goes upward to anastomose with superior epigastric artery (a branch of internal thoracic artery). Deep circumflex iliac artery: Goes laterally, travelling along the iliac crest of the pelvic bone. Femoral artery [3] Terminal branch. When the external iliac artery passes posterior to the inguinal ligament, its name changes to femoral artery.
