Across
  1. 3. The distal attachments of this muscle form the adductor hiatus
  2. 4. This artery branches from the posterior tibial artery and supplies the lateral side of the leg
  3. 5. The external iliac artery becomes the femoral artery after it passes underneath this ligament
  4. 8. This superficial vein runs up the posterior calf and empties into the popliteal vein
  5. 10. This superficial vein runs up the medial side of the lower limb and is used for coronary artery bypass grafts
  6. 12. These terminal arteries supply blood to the digits
  7. 13. The femoral nerve is located immediately to this side of the femoral artery in the femoral triangle
  8. 18. This blood vessel travels with the tibial nerve through the posterior leg
  9. 19. Superficial vein whose valves have broken and blood thus becomes stagnant in them (often happens in lower limbs)
  10. 20. The posterior tibial artery travels through this space on the medial side of the ankle
  11. 21. Clots that form in the deep veins of the lower limbs often embolize and become lodged in these organs
  12. 22. The great saphenous vein empties into the femoral vein in this triangle
  13. 23. Vein that the great saphenous vein empties into
Down
  1. 1. Fossa in which you can find the popliteal artery and vein
  2. 2. The abdominal aorta splits into a right and left common iliac artery in the same transverse plane as this abdominal landmark
  3. 6. This blood vessel travels with the deep fibular nerve in the anterior leg
  4. 7. The anterior tibial artery becomes this artery after it passes underneath the extensor retinaculum
  5. 9. The femoral artery becomes known as the popliteal artery after it passes through this landmark
  6. 11. The first artery that supplies the lower limb exclusively
  7. 14. The femoral vein is located immediately to this side of the femoral artery in the femoral triangle
  8. 15. This artery is the most important blood supply to the neck of the femur and the hip
  9. 16. The thoracic aorta becomes the abdominal aorta after it passes through this muscle
  10. 17. These arteries form an anastamosis around the knee and supply blood to structures in the knee
