intertrochanteric line
what does the femoral head articulate with?
the acetabulum of the hip to form the hip joint
the two hemi-pelvises articulate in the midline at the…
pubic symphysis
what are the two superficial veins of the lower limb?
great saphenous vein
lesser saphenous vein
describe the origin and course of the great and lesser saphenous veins
They begin as the main tributaries from the dorsal venous arch of the foot, ascending superiorly, with the great saphenous vein draining into the femoral vein at the medial aspect of the thigh. Small saphenous vein drains into popliteal vein.
which superficial vein ascends anterior to the medial malleolus of the tibia?
great saphenous vein
which vein ascends posterior to the lateral malleoulus?
small saphenous vein
which superficial vein empties into the femoral vein?
greater saphenous
which superficial vein empties into the popliteal vein?
small saphenous vein
the lymphatics in the lower limb drain into 3 groups of nodes:
superficial inguinal
deep inguinal
popliteal
lymphatic vessels accompanying the great saphenous vein drain into which lymph nodes?
superficial inguinal nodes
the lymphatics accompanying the small saphenous vein drain into which lymph nodes?
popliteal lymph nodes
the anterior of the knee is commonly supplied by which dermatome?
L3
the big toe is commonly supplied by which dermatome?
L5
the little toe is supplied by which dermatome?
S1
