popliteal artery

thigh



Answer :

To match the arteries to their locations in the body: 1. Femoral artery matches with thigh. 2. Popliteal artery matches with behind the knee. 3. Dorsalis pedis matches with ankle and back of foot. The femoral artery is located in the thigh region. It is a major artery that supplies blood to the lower extremities. The popliteal artery is situated behind the knee. This artery branches off from the femoral artery and continues down the leg. The dorsalis pedis artery is found in the ankle and back of the foot. It is responsible for supplying blood to the dorsum (upper part) of the foot. By matching each artery to its corresponding location, you can better understand the blood supply to different parts of the lower extremities.
