Popliteal vein
The
popliteal vein
is formed by the junction of the
venae comitantes
of the
anterior
and
posterior tibial arteries
at the lower border of the
popliteus muscle
on the medial side of the
popliteal artery
. As it ascends through the fossa, it crosses behind the popliteal artery so that it comes to lie on its lateral side. It passes through the opening in the
adductor magnus
to become the
femoral vein
.
