Anterior & Medial Thigh Flashcards
What is the motor and sensory innervation of the anterior thigh?
- motor: femoral n
- sensory: lat. femoral cutaneous & ant. femoral cutaneous
What is the arterial supply of the anterior thigh?
femoral art.
What is the femoral nerve lateral to what?
psoas major
What is the venous drainage of the ant. thigh?
great saphenous vein -> drains into femoral vein
What are the broders of the femoral triangle? (S.A.I.L.)
- lat: sartorius
- medial: adductor longus
- sup: inguinal ligament
- floor: iliopsoas + pectineus
What are the contents of the femoral triangle? (N.A.V.A.L.)
- femoral n.
- femoral art.
- femoral vein
- femoral lymphatics
What is the proximal and distal attachments of the iliopsoas?
- prox: iliacus -> iliac fossa; psoas major -> lat. lumbar spine
- distal: lesser trochanter
What is the proximal and distal attachments of the pectineus?
- prox: sup. pubic ramus
- distal: lesser trochanter
Along with the femoral nerve, what else is the pectineus innervated by?
obturator nerve
What is the proximal and distal attachments of the sartorius?
- prox: ASIS
- distal: med. surface of prox. tibia
What are the contents of the subsartorial canal?
- femoral art.
- femoral vein
- saphenous nerve
- nerve to vastus medialis
Where does the subsartorial canal run?
from the apex of femoral triangle to adductor hiatus
What is the proximal attachment of the rectus femoris?
AIIS
What are the proximal attachments of the vastus lateralis?
- greater trochanter
- intertrochanteric line
What are the proximal attachments of the vastus intermedius?
- proximal shaft
- intertrochanteric line
