Answer 4

A. Femoral, V. Femoral, Femoral canal (deep linguinal lymph nodes)

Question 5

Label

Question 6

Femoral ring

Answer 6

Proximal opening of femoral canal covered by parietal peritoneum

Question 7

Femoral sheath is _____ to the inguinal ligament

Answer 7

Deep

Question 8

Femoral herniae

Answer 8

protrusion of abdominal viscera (ususally SI) through the femoral ring into the femoral canal

bounded by V. femoral laterally and lacunar ligament medially

can pass inferiorly through the saphenous opening

inferiorly along inguinal ligament

Question 11

Distal (vertical) lymph nodes

Answer 11

along each side of great saphenous vein

Question 12

Deep inguinal lymph nodes

Answer 12

along medial side of V. femoral

inside femoral canal of sheath

Question 13

Femoral nerve= __-__

Answer 13

L2-L4

Question 14

Terminal cutaneous branch of N. femoral

Iliacus

Quadriceps femoris

Sartorius

Question 16

4

Answer 16

lateral femoral cutaneous n.

Question 17

7

Answer 17

saphenous n.

Question 18

Meralgia paresthetica

Answer 18

compression of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve as it passes under inguinal ligament causing pain

Question 19

Answer 19

adductor canal (subsartorial/Hunter’s canal)

femoral vessels reach popliteal fossa

begins at femoral triangle apex, ends at adductor hiatus (opening in tendon of adductor magnus)

Question 20

Profunda femoris a.

Answer 20

largest branch of femoral artery

gives rise to medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries

has perforating arteries that supply adductors (particularly adductor magnus) and hamstring muscles

Question 21

Answer 21

profunda femoris a.

(deep femoral artery)

Question 22

medial circumflex femoral a.

Answer 22

main supply to femoral head and neck

passes between iliopsoas and pectineus to reach posterior thigh

Question 23

Answer 23

medial circumflex femoral a.

Question 24

lateral circumflex femoral a.

Answer 24

passes laterally, deep to sartorius and rectus femoris

supplies lateral thigh muscles and femur head

Question 25

Three branches of lateral circumflex femoral a.

Answer 25

ascending

transverse

descending

Question 26

Answer 26

lateral circumflex femoral a.

Question 27

Answer 27

1: medial circumflex femoral a.

Question 28

great saphenous vein: clinical

Answer 28

can be used to administer blood, electrolytes, drugs, etc

for coronary bypass surgery

Question 29

femoral pulse palpation

Answer 29

midway between ASIS and pubic symphysis

Question 30

compression of femoral artery

Answer 30

reduces blood flow to femoral a. and its branches

Question 31

left cardiac angiography

Answer 31

catheter placed into a. femoral

just inferior to midpoint of inguinal ligament

Question 32

laceration of a. femoral

Answer 32

susceptible because superficial position

arteriovenous shunt can occur as a result of communication between injured vessels

cruciate anastomosis: 4 way common meeting of med & lat a. fem, inferior gluteal artery, and first perforating artery

Question 33

saphenous varix

Answer 33

localized dilation of the terminal part of the great saphenous vein, may cause edema in femoral triangle

Question 34

right cardiac angiography

Answer 34

catheter insersted into femoral vein as it passes through the femoral triangle

femoral venous puncture for administration of fluids
