Comparative Anatomy of the Hind Limb Vessels of the Bearded Capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) with Apes, Baboons, and Cebus capucinus: With Comments on the Vessels' Role in Bipedalism
Figure 2
Detailed view of the inguinal, thigh, and popliteal regions in the bearded capuchin. (a) Left inguinal region. 1 indicates the femoral nerve; 2 the femoral artery; 3 the femoral vein; 4 the medial circumflex femoral artery; 5 the spermatic cord (3X). (b) Right thigh. The arteries are indicated by numbers, where 1 is the femoral artery; 2 the lateral circumflex femoral; 3 the profunda femoris artery; 4 the branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and 5 the inferior epigastric. The * indicates veins associated with arteries; the # indicates the femur (2.4X). (c) Right thigh. The arrow indicates the profunda femoris artery (2X). (d) Left popliteal region. 1 indicates the femoral artery; 2 the popliteal artery; 3 the common tibial artery; 4 the anterior tibial artery; 5 the posterior tibial artery; 6 the fibular artery; 7 the saphenous artery. The arrow indicates a muscular branch from fibular artery to gastrocnemius and the * indicates the sciatic nerve (1.8X).
