Q2. Which branch of the obturator artery commonly supplies the medial thigh adductors?
- Anterior branch
- Deep circumflex iliac branch
- Superior rectal branch

- Superficial epigastric branch
- Inferior epigastric branch
- Posterior branch
Q4. Which small branch may enter the acetabular notch and contribute to the blood supply of the femoral head?
- Palmar branch
- Cystic branch
- Acetabular branch
- Appendicular branch
Q5. With which artery can the obturator artery form an important anastomosis near the superior pubic ramus?
- Popliteal artery
- Superior mesenteric artery
- Posterior cerebral artery
- Inferior epigastric artery
Q6. What is the pubic branch of the obturator artery?
- A branch entering the vertebral canal
- A branch supplying the kidney
- A branch that may anastomose with the inferior epigastric system
- A branch of the external carotid system
Q7. Which pelvic structure forms the passage through which the obturator neurovascular bundle enters the thigh?
- Adductor hiatus
- Greater sciatic foramen
- Obturator canal
- Femoral sheath
Q8. Why is the obturator artery relevant to the hip joint?
- It forms the main artery of the leg
- It has no relationship to the hip
- It supplies only the urinary bladder
- It contributes articular and acetabular branches
Q9. How does the obturator artery relate to the obturator nerve in the obturator canal?
- They meet only at the knee
- The nerve travels through the greater sciatic foramen
- The artery passes through the femoral canal while the nerve remains in the pelvis
- They pass together through the obturator canal
Q10. Which statement correctly describes the usual origin and destination of the obturator artery?
