(F.) Artere crurale, A Pelvi-crurale, - (Ch.,) is the continuation of the external iliac. It extends from the crural arch to the aperture in the triceps, or to the ham. Chaussier applies the name Artere crurale to the trunk, which extends from the primitive or common iliac to the tibial arteries- embracing, or course, the external iliac, femoral, and popliteal.
