Q1. From which aspect of the femoral artery does the deep femoral artery commonly arise?
- Strictly medial aspect
- Posterolateral aspect
- Posterior aspect of the popliteal artery
- Distal anterior aspect at the knee
Q2. Which muscle is an important posterior relation of the proximal deep femoral artery?
- Fibularis brevis
- Pectineus
- Soleus
- Tibialis anterior
Q3. Between which muscles does the deep femoral artery descend more distally?
- Tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus
- Gastrocnemius and soleus
- Adductor longus and the deeper adductor muscles
- Sartorius and rectus femoris only
Q4. How many principal perforating arteries usually arise from the deep femoral artery?
- Three principal perforating arteries
- One principal perforating artery
- Seven principal perforating arteries
- No perforating arteries
Q5. What is the typical relationship of the perforating arteries to adductor magnus?
- They pass through the femoral canal
- They pierce adductor magnus to enter the posterior thigh
- They remain superficial to sartorius
- They enter the leg through the interosseous membrane
Q6. Which branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery descends toward the knee?
- Ascending branch
- Acetabular branch
- Descending branch
- Deep plantar branch
Q7. Which branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery contributes to the trochanteric anastomosis?
- First perforating branch only
- Descending branch only
- Superficial epigastric branch
- Ascending branch
Q8. Which branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery participates in the cruciate anastomosis?
- Transverse branch
- Ascending branch only
- Anterior tibial recurrent branch
- Deep plantar branch
Q9. What do the perforating arteries primarily supply after reaching the posterior thigh?
- Hamstring muscles and adjacent femur
- Gluteal skin only
- Anterior abdominal wall only
- Intrinsic muscles of the foot only
Q10. What is the significance of anastomoses between successive perforating arteries?
- They create a longitudinal collateral arterial network
- They prevent all blood flow to the hamstrings
- They form the great saphenous vein
- They create the femoral canal
