Course

It runs lateralward above the head of the fibula to the front of the knee-joint, passing in its course beneath the lateral head of the gastrocnemius, the fibular collateral ligament, and the tendon of the biceps femoris.

Branching

It ends by dividing into branches, which anastomose with the Inferior medial genicular and superior lateral genicular arteries, and with the anterior recurrent tibial artery.

gollark: You probably could generate it automatically out of a bunch of lines.
gollark: Also, if you play it in safe mode i.e. don't launch the driver on boot the game will apparently refuse to run until you reboot.
gollark: Lots of games do the kernel driver thing, but they're venturing into new areas of malware-like "anticheat" by making it run constantly.
