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.
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 :
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 ...

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 ...
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.
The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...
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.
