popliteal vein
What else can I help you with?
Three veins serving the leg?
anterior tibial, femoral, posterior tibialfemoral, posterior tibial, anterior tibial
Where is Anterior Tibial?
The anterior tibial artery is located in the lower leg, running along the front of the tibia bone. It originates from the popliteal artery behind the knee and travels downward, supplying blood to the anterior compartment of the leg, including the muscles that dorsiflex the foot. It eventually becomes the dorsalis pedis artery as it crosses the ankle and supplies the foot.
Which ligament in the knee is damaged in extension?
medial collateral, medial meniscus, and anterior cruciate
What is the ridge on the tibia head called?
The ridge on the tibia head is called the tibial tuberosity. It is a bony prominence on the anterior surface of the tibia where the patellar ligament attaches.
Among the prominent bone marking of the tibia are the?
The anterior crest is prominent bone feature on the tibia. It is often called the shin.
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.
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.
What is the tibial anterior border?
The anterior border is the easily felt and very prominent, boney ridge that runs vertically along the front of the tibia (shin).
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.
What major vein in the legs?
The femoral vein is the main vein in a human leg.
