Cruciate Anastomosis - Structure

Structure

The cruciate anastomosis is so-called because it resembles a cross. Its four components are:

  • inferior gluteal artery
  • lateral circumflex femoral artery (transverse branch of)
  • medial circumflex femoral artery (transverse branch of)
  • first perforating artery from profunda femoris (ascending branch of)

Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    What is the structure of government that will best guard against the precipitate counsels and factious combinations for unjust purposes, without a sacrifice of the fundamental principle of republicanism?
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
