8: Anteromedial Thigh Flashcards
How do saphenous N and saphenous branch of descending genicular A leave the adductor canal?
Through medial canal
What do superficial inguinal LNs drain?
External iliac LNs
What do deep inguinal LNs drain into?
External iliac LNs
Location of superficial vs deep inguinal LNs
Superficial: in superficial fascia deep to inguinal ligament
Deep: medial to femoral V in femoral canal
Femoral Hernia
Small loop of SI can protrude through femoral ring into femoral canal
Population where femoral hernias are more common
Women
Common innervation of anterior thigh with exception
Femoral N (except psoas major and minor)
Nine separate muscles of the anterior thigh
- Iliacus
- Psoas major
- Psoas minor
- Pectineus
- Sartorius
- Rectus femoris
- Vastus lateralis
- Vastus medialis
- Vastus intermedius
Chief flexor of the thigh
Iliopsoas
Innervation of the three parts of the iliopsoas
- Iliacus: femoral N
- Psoas major: L1-3 anterior rami
- Psoas minor: L1-2 anterior rami
Iliopsoas O and I
O: lateral portion of bodies T12-L5, sacrum
I: lesser trochanter
Pectineus A
Adduct and flex thigh (acts like a medial muscle of thigh but technically anterior)
Pectineus O and I
O: pectineal line of pubis
I: pectineal line of femur
Longest muscle in body
Sartorius
Sartorius O and I
O: ASIS
I: pes anserinus
Three tendons that make up the pes anserinus
Sartorius, gracilis, semitendinosis
Sartorius A
Flex, abduct, laterally rotate thigh + flex leg
