Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The popliteal artery runs along the back of the knee and is a continuation of the femoral artery. If the femoral artery, which is a large artery, was cut, many arteries that branch off the femoral artery would not receive blood. This includes the popliteal artery.
The brachial, thoracic, and iliac artery are all superior to the femoral artery therefore they would not be directly affected by the interruption in the femoral artery.
You may use the diagram below as a visual reference for the location of the arteries.
