The Popliteal Artery and its Branches EXPLAINED

The video tutorial explores the course of the popliteal artery, its branches, and the anatomical structures it interacts with. It covers the popliteal fossa, the bifurcation of the tibial peroneal trunk, and the transition of the anterior tibial artery to the dorsalis pedis artery. The video also discusses the circumflex fibular artery and its role in the knee region.

• Femoral artery

• Popliteal artery

• Anterior tibial artery

• Peroneal artery

Which artery branches off from the popliteal artery as it exits the popliteal fossa?

• Posterior tibial artery

• Peroneal artery

• Anterior tibial artery

• Femoral artery

What does the tibial peroneal trunk bifurcate into?

• Anterior tibial and femoral arteries

• Peroneal and anterior tibial arteries

• Posterior tibial and fibular arteries

• Femoral and popliteal arteries

Which artery is more medially placed in the leg?
