The descending genicular artery (also known as the highest genicular artery) arises from the femoral artery just before its passage through the adductor hiatus.. The descending geniculate artery immediately divides into two branches: [contradictory] a saphenous branch (which classically joins with the medial inferior genicular artery), and muscular and articular branches.

Lateral superior genicular artery; The middle genicular artery is a small branch of the popliteal artery that originates inferior or distal to both the superior genicular arteries as well as the sural arteries. Inferior or distal to the origins of the superior and middle genicular arteries are the two inferior genicular arteries: Medial ...

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. It assists in supplying the knee joint.

The genicular arteries supply the knee joint. The other two structures that are associated with the adductor hiatus are the descending genicular artery and the saphenous nerve. The saphenous nerve does not leave through the adductor hiatus but penetrates superficially halfway through the adductor canal.
