Anterior Thigh Flashcards
What is linea aspera?
in back femur where lots of quads attach
Patella is pully of quadriceps to
the tibia
What nerves lead to femoral and obturator nerve?
L2-L4 dorsal division is femoral and the anterior division is obturator. The obturator goes over the pelvis and through the obturator canal. Femoral nerve goes under SOAS muscle and travels through leg under ilingual ligament
Anterior thigh cutaneous innervation
Femoral nerve
Lateral thigh cutaneous innervation
lateral cutaneous nerve
Obturator nerve
innervates just inside medial thigh
