Which structures separate the superficial femoral artery from the popliteal artery and the external iliac artery from the common femoral artery?
The SFA becomes the popliteal artery after entering the adductor (Hunter’s) canal. The external iliac artery becomes the CFA when it crosses the inguinal ligament, which is approximated by the origins of the deep circumflex iliac and inferior epigastric arteries from the distal external iliac artery.
