: 10. The artery of the anterior compartment of the leg is the (blank) artery. This artery branches from the (blank) artery within the (blank) compartment of the leg. This artery courses anterior to arrive in the anterior compartment by passing superior to the superior free edge of the (blank) membrane and inferior to the (blank) ligament. The nerve of the anterior compartment is the (blank) nerve. This nerve branches from the (blank) nerve near the neck of the (blank). Unlike the artery of the anterior compartment, this nerve courses anterior by passing lateral (superficial) to the (blank) of the (blank). Before arriving in the anterior compartment, this nerve must first penetrate the (blank) septum, the (blank) muscles, and then the (blank) septum.

Check your response for "posterior tibial artery." Does the popliteal artery become the tibial artery for a short distance before branching into anterior and posterior arteries. I forget and I don't have a moment right now. Also, not the meniscofemoral lig. Oblique lig maybe, but not oblique popliteal. There is a ligament proximal to the superior free edge of the interosseous membrane. If nothing else, the capsule of the proximal tibiofibular joint.
In all, excellent work on your part. I hope that the exercise was helpful.
