Document Summary

Femoral artery (femur bone) branches of this artery are responsible for the supply of blood to the thigh region. Popliteal artery a continuation of the femoral artery will divide into the posterior and anterior tibial arteries. Anterior tibial artery: sends blood to the extensor muscles which are located on the front. Posterior tibial artery: sends blood to the fibular artery (makes sense as fibula is located posterior to the tibia) fibular artery supplies the fibularis muscles. There are three major veins that enter the right atrium. Superficial veins are referred to those that are located just below the surface of the skin. Venous plexus is referred to the multi-vein bundles. There are some unusual patterns of the venous drainage (refers to the movement of the blood through the veins) Dural sinuses (these are the veins of the head) Superior venae cava: returns the blood from the superior region of the diaphragm (so all organs above that line)
