Femoral Triangle

Question 1

Superior Boundary of the femoral triangle

Answer 1

inguinal ligament forms the base of the triangle

Question 2

Medial Boundary of the femoral triangle

Answer 2

Lateral border of adductor longus muscle

Question 3

Lateral boundary of the femoral triangle

Answer 3

Medial border of sartorius muscle

Question 4

Apex of the femoral triangle

Answer 4

medial border of the sartorius crosses the lateral border of adductor longus muscle

Question 5

Floor of the femoral triangle

Answer 5

illiacus muscle
psoas major muscle
pectineus muscle

Question 6

what does the term iliopsoas mean

Answer 6

refers to the combination of the psoas major and the iliacus muscle because they both travel underneath the inguinal ligament

both insert on the lesser trochantar of the femur

Question 7

Action of iliacus and Psoas Major

Answer 7

flex the hip or the thigh

Question 8

roof on the femoral triangle

Answer 8

deep to superficial
fascia lata
cribiform fascia
subcutaneous tissue 
skin

Question 9

fascia Lata purpose

Answer 9

surrounds the entire thigh and lies deep to the subcutaneous fascia

Question 10

Retroinguinal space

Answer 10

deep to the inguinal ligament

two compartments: muscle compartment and the vascular compartment

Question 11

Retroinguinal space: muscular compartment

Answer 11

iliacus muscle
psoas major muscle
femoral nerve

Question 12

Retroinguinal space: vascular compartment

Answer 12

femoral artery and vein

lymphatic vessels draining the deep inguinal lymph node

Question 13

Femoral Nerve supplies what muscles in the thigh and skin

Answer 13

iliacus
quadraceps femoris ( all quad muscles)
sartorius
pectineus

anterior middle thigh
anterior knee
and the medial side of the leg
medial side of foot

Question 14

femoral sheath

Answer 14

three compartments that surround the vessels

Lateral compartment: femoral artery
middle compartment: Femoral vein
Medial Compartment: lymphatic structures

Question 15

N.A.V.e.L.

Answer 15

Nerve, artery, Vein, lymph toward your navel (belly button)

Question 16

Cardiac catheterization

Answer 16

heart cath or coronary angiogram

provides road map of the arteries in the heart

help find any blockages in arteries that supply the heart (coronary arteries)

Question 17

Femoral canal

Answer 17

medial compartment in the femoral sheath

contain the lymphatic vessels of the leg
the top is the femoral ring and it is an open canal

Question 18

Femoral hernia

Answer 18

usually happens with females
possibly due to wider pelvis and femoral canal

loop of intestine is forced into the femoral ring

creates a bulge from swelling in the upper part of the thigh

found below and lateral to the pubic tubercle

Question 19

inguinal hernia

Answer 19

occurs mainly in males

intestine or comes through the inguinal ligament/sheath

usually occur above and medial of the pubic tubercle

Question 20

when does the femoral artery arrive

Answer 20

when the external iliac artery passes the inguinal ligament

Question 21

Femoral artery branches: superficial epigastric wall

Answer 21

branches medially and supplies the anterior abdominal wall

Question 22

Femoral artery branches: superficial circumflex iliac artery

Answer 22

branches laterally

supplies the lateral thigh

Question 23

Femoral artery branches: external pudendal

Answer 23

branches medially

supplies the external genitalia and anal canal

Question 24

Femoral artery branches: medial femoral circumflex

Answer 24

branches laterally

supplies the head and neck of the femur

Question 25

Femoral artery branches: lateral femoral circumflex

Answer 25

branches laterally

supplies the lateral thigh muscles

Question 26

Femoral artery branches: profunda femoris

Answer 26

supplies the hip joint plus three muscular compartments of the thigh

Question 27

Posterior retinacular arteries function

Answer 27

supply the head and neck of the femur

they branch from the medial femoral circumflex artery

Question 28

Great saphenous Vein

Answer 28

in the superficial fascia

begins in the dorsum of the foot and ascends on the medial side of the leg and thigh

passes through the saphenous hiatus (through the fascia latte) to join the femoral vein

Question 29

Deep inguinal lymph nodes

Answer 29

lymph nodes of lower limb that drain muscle and bone

recieve lymph from superficial lymph nodes that drain skin

finaly drain into the external iliac vein
