Question

Branches of the popliteal artery include the
A) femoral artery.
B) anterior tibial artery.
C) iliac artery.
D) dorsalis pedis.
E) plantar arch.

Accepted Answer

The branches of the popliteal artery include the anterior tibial artery, which supplies blood to the anterior portion of the lower leg. The femoral artery is not a branch of the popliteal artery, but rather a separate major artery that runs from the pelvis to the knee. The iliac artery is located in the pelvis and is not a branch of the popliteal artery. The dorsalis pedis and plantar arch are located in the foot and are not directly connected to the popliteal artery.
