Anatomy. 742 THE VASCULAR SYSTEMS The posterior tibial veins {vv. tihiales posteriores) accompany the posterior tibial artery and are joined by the peroneal veins. tibial veins (vv. tibialis anteriores) are formed by a continuation upward of the venae comites of the dorsalis pedis artery. They pass lietween the tibia and fibula, through the large oval aperture above the interosseous membrane, and form, by their junction with the posterior tibial, the popliteal vein.

Anatomy. 742 THE VASCULAR SYSTEMS The posterior tibial veins {vv. tihiales posteriores) accompany the posterior tibial artery and are joined by the peroneal veins. tibial veins (vv. tibialis anteriores) are formed by a continuation upward of the venae comites of the dorsalis pedis artery. They pass lietween the tibia and fibula, through the large oval aperture above the interosseous membrane, and form, by their junction with the posterior tibial, the popliteal vein. The valves in the deep veins are very numerous. The popliteal vein (v. poplitea) (Fig. 519) is formed by the junction of the anterior and posterior tibial veins; it ascends through the popliteal space to the aperture in the Adductor magnus tendon, where it becomes the femoral vein. In the lower part of its course it is placed internal to the artery; between the heads of the Gastrocnemius it is superficial to that vessel; but above the knee-joint it is close to the outer side of the artery. It receives the sural veins from the Gastrocnemius muscle, the articular veins, and the external saphenous veins. The valves in this vein are usually four in niunber. The femoral vein (y. femoralis) (Figs. 520 and 521) accompanies the femoral artery through the upper two-thirds of the thigh. In the lower part of its course it lies external to the artery; higher up it is behind it; and at Poupart's ligament it lies to its inner side and on the same plane. It receives numerous muscular tributaries, and about an inch and a half below Poupart's ligament it is joined by the deep femoral; near its termination it is joined by the internal saphenous vein. The valves in the femoral vein are four or five in number. The deep femoral vein (v. profunda femoris) Teceives tributaries corresponding to the perforating branches of the profunda artery, and through these establishes communications with the popliteal vein below and the sciatic vein above. It also receives the internal and ex
