Tibiofibular trunk (or tibioperoneal trunk) is an arterial trunk representing the direct continuation of the popliteal artery distal to where the anterior tibial artery (the first branch of the popliteal artery) branches off from it.
The fibular artery arises from the bifurcation of tibial-fibular trunk into the fibular and posterior tibial arteries in the upper part of the leg proper, just below the knee. It runs towards the foot in the deep posterior compartment of the leg, just medial to the fibula. It supplies a perforating branch to both the lateral and anterior ...
The popliteal artery is a deeply placed continuation of the femoral artery opening in the distal portion of the adductor magnus muscle.It courses through the popliteal fossa and ends at the lower border of the popliteus muscle, where it branches into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries.
The tibial nerve is the larger terminal branch of the sciatic nerve with root values of L4, L5, S1, S2, and S3. It lies superficial (or posterior) to the popliteal vessels, extending from the superior angle to the inferior angle of the popliteal fossa, crossing the popliteal vessels from lateral to medial side.
Persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA), [1] often referred to simply as truncus arteriosus, [2] is a rare form of congenital heart disease that presents at birth. In this condition, the embryological structure known as the truncus arteriosus fails to properly divide into the pulmonary trunk and aorta.
I am a doctor and you are correct, this has been mislabled. The standard progression is superficial femoral turns into the popliteal, which first branches into the anterior tibial and the tibioperoneal trunk (tibiofibular trunk). The tibiofibular trunk then bifurcates into the posterior tibial and fibular. (There are normal variations...
The posterior tibial veins receive blood from the medial and lateral plantar veins. [1] They drain the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot to the popliteal vein, which it forms when it joins with the anterior tibial vein.
The anterior tibial vein is a vein in the lower leg.. In human anatomy, there are two anterior tibial veins.They originate and receive blood from the dorsal venous arch, on the back of the foot and empties into the popliteal vein.
