1. A branch to the iliacus muscle. This is given off within the pelvis, but is 

 easily found distributed to the under surface of the muscle. 



2. Cutaneous brandies the long saphenous, the internal and middle 

 cutaneous. 



3. A small branch to the femoral artery. This is given off within the pelvis. 



4. Muscular brandies to all the muscles on the front of the thigh. Note 

 that the sartorius muscle is supplied either by the middle or internal cutaneous 

 nerve. 



5. An articular branch to the hip, given off from the branch to the rectus ; 

 also articular branches to the knee, from the nerves to the two vasti.

Branches of the Femoral Artery. The common femoral is a continuation 

 of the external iliac. (Fig. 223.) Usually, it is about one and one-half inches in 

 length. It then divides into the superficial and deep femoral. Each has branches. 



Branches of the Common Femoral Artery. (i) Superficial circumflex 

 iliac ; (2) superficial epigastric ; (3) superficial external pudic ; (4) deep external 

 pudic. These are all small and surgically insignificant branches. (Fig. 223.) 



Branches of the Profunda. (t) The internal circumflex ; (2) the external 

 circumflex ; (3) the three perforating arteries.
