What else can I help you with?
Three veins serving the leg?
anterior tibial, femoral, posterior tibialfemoral, posterior tibial, anterior tibial
What four veins serve the leg?
femoral, posterior tibial, anterior tibial
What contributes to the formation of the popliteal vein?
The popliteal vein carries blood from the knee to the thigh and calf muscles and ultimately to the heart. The vein is formed from the merging of the two posterior tibial veins and ends as it merges in to the femoral vein.
What does the Anterior tibial drains into?
popliteal vein
Three arteries serving the leg inferior to the knee?
anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal
Where is Tibial artery located?
The tibial artery is located in the lower leg and is divided into two main branches: the anterior tibial artery and the posterior tibial artery. The anterior tibial artery runs along the front of the leg and supplies blood to the anterior compartment, while the posterior tibial artery runs along the back, supplying blood to the posterior compartment. Both branches originate from the popliteal artery, which is located behind the knee.
What is the function of the anterior tibial artery?
Dorsalis paedis
To what bony structure does the patellar ligament attach?
The patella and anterior tbia attach to the patellar ligament.
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.
The long ridge that runs along the front of the tibia is called the?
This long ridge of the tibia is called the anterior crest or anterior border. See link below:
What vein does the anterior tibial vein drain into?
The Testicular Vein and then into the Penisial Vein.
Where is the anterior tibial pulse?
It is best felt over the lateral aspect of the tibia, midway down the shin.
