Three veins that contribute to the anastomosis of the hip joint?

There are 2 anastomosis of the hip joint, a cruciate and trochanteric. I'm not sure about the veins which contribute to the hip joint but i can tell you the arteries and maybe that will help you trace down the venous drainage. Cruciate: inferior gluteal a. lateral circumflex femoral a. medial circumflex femoral a. the first perforating a. of profunda femoris Trochanteric: medial circumflex femoral a. lateral circumflex femoral a. superior gluteal a. inferior gluteal a. a. = artery by the way Hope this helps :D


What is the blood flow path from the mitral valve to the great toe?

From mitral valve the blood will go to left ventricle. From there, the blood will go to ascending aorta. Then arch of aorta. Then descending aorta. Then abdominal aorta. Then to common iliac artery. then to external iliac artery. Which continue as the femoral artery. Then popliteal artery. Then posterior tibial artery. Then medial and lateral planter arteries. Then the branches will go to your great toe.

What is the path of a drop of blood from the aorta to the capillaries in the big toe?

As oddly specific as this question is the flow would probably follow the path below: Aortic Arch==>Descending Aorta==>either the left or right Common Illiac Artery==>External Illiac Artery==>Femoral Artery==>from here there are two options to get to the Hallucis (big toe) The first is that the blood flows through the Anterior Tibial Artery then into the Medial Dorsal Artery or Lateral Dorsal Artery which merge to form the Arcuate Artery. From here will come smaller un-named arteries to supply the top of the big toe. The other option is that blood flows through the Posterios Tibial Artery then into the Medial Plantar Artery and Lateral Plantar Artery which merge to form the Plantar Arch. Again smller un-named arteries come from the arch to suplly the underside of the big toe this time.

What ligament is on the knee area posterior side of femur on tibia?

Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.
