The crural, or the external iUac artery, is divided into three branches as follows: First, the internal pelvic, or umbilical artery, is given off just as the cruralis leaves the pelvic cavity. It passes, as a long vessel, on the inner surface of the lumbo-sacral bones and supplies the. Pig. 63.—Blood-vessels and nerves of the hind extremity. Inside view of leg.

It gives off branches to the abdominal muscles, and, in the female, a branch is distributed to the ligament of the oviduct. Second, the arteria circumilex femoris, which passes between the sartorius and vastus internus and extends dorsalward, suppUes the sartorius muscle, the vasti muscles, and the ilio-trochanteric region. • Third, the femoral artery, which passes beside the vena cruralis and extends down the posterior surface of the thigh to the knee- joint, supplies the upper thigh muscles with the exception of the adductor Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the
