What is "popliteal artery"?

The popliteal artery is a vital artery located behind the knee in the human body. It is an extension of the femoral artery and serves as a major blood supply to the lower leg and foot. The popliteal artery branches off into smaller arteries that provide oxygenated blood to the muscles, bones, and tissues of the lower limb. It plays a crucial role in maintaining adequate blood flow and nourishment to the lower extremities, supporting mobility and overall functionality. The popliteal artery is vulnerable to certain conditions such as atherosclerosis or aneurysm, which can affect blood flow and require medical intervention.
