| popliteal artery |
The popliteal artery is defined as that extension of the superficial femoral artery which extends through the adductor canal above the knee to the so-called "trifurcation" of the resultant artery below the knee into the anterior tibial, posterior tibial and peroneal arteries. In fact, the trifurcation is a misnomer as the anterior tibial artery branches off the end of the popliteal artery first. ...

| population |
In statistics, a statistical population is a set of entities concerning which statistical inferences are to be drawn, often based on a random sample taken from the population. For example, if we were interested in generalizations about crows, then we would describe the set of crows that is of interest. Notice that if we choose a population like all crows, we will be limited to observing crows that exist now or will exist in the future. ...

| population genetics |
Population genetics is the study of the distribution of and change in allele frequencies under the influence of the five evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, migration and nonrandom mating. It also takes account of population subdivision and population structure in space. As such, it attempts to explain such phenomena as adaptation and speciation. ...
