- Popliteal artery
- Posterior cerebral artery
- Superior mesenteric artery
- Inferior epigastric artery
Q6. What is the pubic branch of the obturator artery?
- A branch that may anastomose with the inferior epigastric system

Q7. Which pelvic structure forms the passage through which the obturator neurovascular bundle enters the thigh?
- Obturator canal
- Femoral sheath
- Adductor hiatus
- Greater sciatic foramen
Q8. Why is the obturator artery relevant to the hip joint?
