Femoral Artery 3D

  • Description

    • * It begins as the continuation of the external iliac artery distal to the inguinal ligament, descends through the femoral triangle, and enters the adductor canal.
    • * It has a palpable pulsation just inferior to the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

  • Superficial Epigastric Artery:

    • * It runs subcutaneously upward toward the umbilicus.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
  • Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery:
    • * It runs laterally almost parallel with the inguinal ligament.                                                                                                                                                
  • Superficial External Pudendal Artery:
    • * It emerges through the saphenous ring, runs medially over the spermatic cord, and sends inguinal branches and anterior scrotal branches..                                                                                                                                                                                                 
  • Deep External Pudendal Artery:
    • * It passes medially across the pectineus and adductor longus and is distributed to the skin of the perineum, scrotum, or labium majus.                                                                                                                                                                                   
  • Descending Genicular Artery​​​​​​​​​​​​​​:
    • * It arises from the femoral artery in the adductor canal just before it passes through the adductor hiatus.
    • * It divides into an articular branch and a saphenous branch.                                                                                                                       

  • Medial Femoral Circumflex Artery​​​​​​​:

    • * It arises from the femoral or profunda femoris artery in the femoral triangle.
    • * It runs between the pectineus and iliopsoas muscles and enters the gluteal region between the adductor Magnus and quadratus femoris muscles.
    • * It gives rise to muscular and acetabular branches for the hip joint. It then divides into an ascending branch and a transverse branch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
  • Lateral Femoral Circumflex Artery​​​​​​​:
    • * It arises from the femoral or profunda femoris artery and passes laterally deep to the sartorius and rectus femoris muscles.
    • * It divides into three branches, an ascending branch, a transverse branch, and a descending branch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
  • Descending Genicular Artery​​​​​​​:
    • * It arises from the femoral artery in the adductor canal just before it passes through the adductor hiatus.
    • * It divides into an articular branch and a saphenous branch.
