Anteromedial Thigh + Femoral Triangle Flashcards
What is acetabulum
- Where the three pelvic bones come together
- Socket of hip joint
What does inguinal ligament connect
ASIS to Pubic Tubercle
What connects two halves of the pelvis
- Coccyx / sacrum
- Pubic Symphysis
What is Linea aspera
Posterior dip in femur for muscle attachments
The humerus has anterior tubercles, the femur has _______
Posterior trochanters
Common iliac vessels divide into ________ at the _____
External and internal iliac, sacroiliac joint
External iliac vessel becomes _______ when passing _____ the ______
Femoral, under, inguinal ligament
Is femoral artery ant/post to the femur
Post
Femoral artery gives off __________ branch at the ______
Profunda Femoris, neck of femur
Profunda femoris branches into
Medial circumflex, lateral circumflex (-> descending branch), perforating arteries
Femoral artery enters ________ and becomes the ______

When popliteal artery leaves popliteal fossa, it trifurcates into
Anterior Tibial (ant), Posterial Tibial (post), Fibular (post)
What is fascia lata
Deep fascia of the lower limb, envelops whole lower limb
What is saphenous opening
Hole in the fascia lata where saphenous vein meets femoral vein
Where is saphenous opening
Inferior to inguinal ligament
Where does fascia lata attach
Pelvis
- Sup to pubic tubercle, pubis, inguinal lig
- Lat to iliac crest
- Post to sacrum, coccyx, ischial tuberosity
Iliotibial Band function
Knee stability when knee is straight
What is iliotibial band
Fascia lata blended with tendon of tensor fascia lata muscle
