Saphenous Artery

Version 1

Abstract

A branch of the descending genicular artery, the last branch (most distal) of the femoral, the saphenous is also variable. It usually lies between the sartorius and the garcilis muscles and supplies their distal ends. The artery accompanies the saphenous nerve. It usually supplies the skin on the medial and proximal part of the leg. The artery may continue to join, in varying degrees, the dorsalis pedis artery and plantaris pedis arteries.
