What structure is supplied by the femoral and tibial arteries?
The femoral and tibial arteries supply blood to the lower limb. The femoral artery primarily supplies the thigh and continues down to the popliteal artery, which branches into the tibial arteries. The tibial arteries (anterior and posterior) supply the leg, ankle, and foot. Collectively, they ensure adequate blood flow to the muscles, skin, and tissues of the lower extremities.
What are the external iliac arteries called when they pass the inguinal ligaments?
Same artery is called as femoral artery. Here it enters the thigh and femur is the thigh bone.
What are the lateral and medial femoral circumflex arteries?
The lateral and medial femoral circumflex arteries are branches of the profunda femoris (deep femoral) artery, supplying blood to the hip joint and surrounding musculature. The lateral femoral circumflex artery primarily supplies the greater trochanter and the gluteal region, while the medial femoral circumflex artery mainly supplies the head and neck of the femur. Both arteries form an anastomosis around the femoral neck, contributing to the vascularization of the hip joint. Their integrity is crucial for maintaining the health of the hip and preventing conditions like avascular necrosis.
