Genicular Arteries

from Mortuary Mnemonics · host Damon de la Cruz

A two for one! Today we bridge anatomy and ceremonies. From your ceremonies class you probably learned the term genuflect. This refers to lowering of the body by bending a knee to the ground. This it often seen in ceremonies as a sign of worship. In anatomy we refer to the six arteries that in the leg branch from the distal femoral and the popliteal arteries as the genicular arteries. Genicular is Latin for "knee." There you have it! Genuflect and genicular arteries, both deal with the knee.
