popliteal artery
Femoral
Popliteal region
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.
The popliteal artery is located behind the knee, in the popliteal fossa, which is the shallow depression at the back of the knee joint. It is a continuation of the femoral artery and branches off into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. This artery is crucial for supplying blood to the lower leg and foot.
The depression located posterior to the knee is known as the popliteal region. It is a shallow hollow or fossa located at the back of the knee joint. This region contains important blood vessels, nerves, and lymph nodes.
Behind The Knee
It's the area behind the knee. It's where your popliteal artery is.
the popliteal artery is located in the knee, behind the kneecap

anatomy
Think this out by using a diagram or even a stick figure.1. The posterior surface is the "backside" of the body.2. Now look at or draw the back of the leg.3. The sural region region is the calf of the leg (still looking at the back).4. Mark that spot.5. The femoral region is the thigh.6. Now the question is asking "what is closer to the point of attachment to the body than the calf BUT further away from the point of attachment than the thigh."7. What do you see BETWEEN the calf and the thigh?8. What is this space called? What is the anterior (front) called?For more info see the link below:
