origin and course of external iliac artery

O common iliac artery

C follows the iliopsoas muscle. becomes the femoral artery at the inguinal ligament. gives rise to inferior epigastric a and deep iliac circumflex a.

course of femoral vein

fed by profunda femoris vein and great saphenous vein

becomes the external iliac vein after passing posterior to inguinal ligament

in adductor canal, lies posterlaterally and posterior to the femoral artery

origin and course of femoral artery

continuation of external iliac artery distal to inguinal ligament

lateral to femoral vein in femoral triangle

descends on borders of iliopsoas and pectineus

enters adductor canal deep to sartorius

exits adductor canal passing through addcutor hiatus and becomes popliteal artery

origin and course of deep femoral artery

arises from femoral artery in femoral triangle. in middle third of thigh is separated from femoral artery by adductor longus. gives off three or four perforating arteries that wrap around posterior femur and feed adductor magnus, hamstring, and vastus lateralis muscles

origin and course of lateral circumflex femoral artery

can arise from deep femoral artery or femoral artery. encircles the thigh and anastosomes with the medial circumflex artery and supplies lateral thigh muscles and proximal femur.

origin and course of medial circumflex femoral artery

most likely arises from deep femoral artery but may arise from femoral artery
