The acetabular branch is an artery in the hip that arises from the medial circumflex femoral artery opposite the acetabular notch and enters the hip-joint beneath the transverse ligament in company with an articular branch from the obturator artery.
The acetabular branch of the obturator artery supplies the acetabulum through the acetabular notch. The pubic branches supply the pelvic surface of the acetabulum. Deep branches of the superior gluteal artery supply the superior region and the inferior gluteal artery supplies the postero-inferior region. [7]
At the upper border of the adductor brevis it gives off two branches: [1] The ascending branch; The descending branch descends beneath the adductor brevis, to supply it and the adductor magnus; the continuation of the vessel passes backward and divides into superficial, deep, and acetabular branches. The superficial branch; The deep branch
The ligament becomes taut when the thigh is both flexed and either adducted or laterally/externally rotated. The ligament is usually too weak to actually function as a ligament [4] past childhood; [5] excessive movement at the hip joint is instead primarily limited by the three capsular ligament of the hip joint.

Five genicular arteries branch from the popliteal artery to form a network around the knee, the genicular anastomosis. The anastomosis provides collateral circulation in the event of damage to the region. [1] Inferior or distal to the origin of the descending genicular artery are two superior genicular arteries: Medial superior genicular artery
The obturator artery is a branch of the internal iliac artery that passes antero-inferiorly (forwards and downwards) on the lateral wall of the pelvis, to the upper part of the obturator foramen, and, escaping from the pelvic cavity through the obturator canal, it divides into an anterior branch and a posterior branch.
