Why is it difficult to feel the popliteal aery pulsations?
High-Yield Explanation
Popliteal aery is the deepest structure in the popliteal fossa. It is difficult to feel its pulsations as it is not superficial and does not cross a prominent bone. Ref: Textbook of Surgery By Gupta, 2nd Edition, Page 297; Anatomy at a Glance By Omar Faiz, Simon Blackburn, David Moffat, Page 109
