The branches of the common femoral artery are, (1) superficial epigastric, 



_' superficial circumflex iliac, (3) superficial external pudic, (4) deep external 



pudic. The branches of the superficial femoral are, (1) muscular branches, (2) 



anastomotica magna. The branches of the profunda femoral are, (1) internal 



circumflex, (2) external circumflex. (3) perforating. 



The superficial epigastric artery passes through the saphenous opening and . 

 ascends almost to the umbilicus, lying in the superficial fascia on the external 

 oblique muscle. It anastomoses with branches of the deep epigastric artery. 

 The superficial circumflex iliac artery, after piercing the fascia lata, runs to the 

 anterior superior spine and crest of the ilium below Poupart's ligament. It 

 anastomoses with the deep circumflex iliac and with the gluteal and external 

 circumflex arteries. The superficial external pudic artery, also called superior, 

 passes through the saphenous opening across the spermatic cord in the male 

 and round ligament in the female to the lower part of the abdominal wall, penis, 

 scrotum in the male, and the labium in the female. It anastomoses with 

 branches of the internal pudic. The deep external pudic artery, also called in- 

 ferior, crosses the Pectineus muscle then pierces the fascia lata to pass to the 

 slrin of perineum and scrotum in the male or labium in the female. It anasto- 

 moses with branches of superficial perineal artery. The muscular branches of 

 the superficial femoral artery vary in number from two to seven and go mainly 

 to the Sartorius and Vastus internus muscles. The anastomotica magna which
