- See:
- Arterial Development:
- Components:
- inferolateral branch of arteria comitans nervi ischiadici inf gluteal )
- medial femoral circumflex
- lateral femoral circumflex
- 1st perforating branch of profunda
- Discussion:
- persisting distal portions of ischiadic artery become peroneal & medial inferior genicular arteries;
- proximal portion persists as the arteria comitans nervi ischiadici, branch of inferior gluteal artery, which lies on surface of Sciatic Nerve &
sends branch lateral & downward to anastomose w/ lateral and medial femoral circumflex arteries & first perforating branch of
(see femoral artery)
