It communicates above with the perforans prima, below with the per- forans superior of the fern, super]'. II. Femoralis superficialis. This artery, which lies rather superficially, is every-where covered by the fascia lata ; above it is also pro- tected by the inguinal glands, and in the middle- by the sartorius, which crosses obliquely over the thigh. It passes downwards, inwards, and backwards, getting gradually from the front of the thigh to the inside, and from thence to the cavity of the ham. At its upper part it is sepa- rated from ihe femoralis profunda by a quan- tity of fat and glands ; there it is situated on the vastus internus, and afterwards between that muscle and the adductors, where it meets with, and passes through an oblique canal, formed in the common tendon of the adductors.
