  2. semitendinosus
  3. semimembranosus
  4. adductor magnus (vertical/hamstring fibers)
28
Q

What is the posterior compartment of the thigh is separated from the extensor compartment by?

A

lateral intermuscular septum

29
Q

Is there a septum that separates the posterior compartment from the adductor compartment?

A

NO

30
Q

The blood supply to the thigh is provided mostly by which artery?

A

femoral artery

31
Q

What is the femoral artery an extension of?

A
  • external iliac artery
32
Q

The ____ _____ artery passes deep to the ______ _______ into the _____ triangle of the thigh, thus becoming the ______ artery and enclosed in the femoral ______. It then courses below the _______ muscle in the _____ ______. It then becomes the _____ artery by going through the _______ _______ in the adductor magnus.

A

The EXTERNAL ILIAC artery passes deep to the INGUINAL LIGAMENT into the FEMORAL triangle of the thigh, thus becoming the FEMORAL artery and enclosed in the femoral SHEATH. It then courses below the SARTORIUS muscle in the ADDUCTOR CANAL. It then becomes the POPLITEAL artery by going through the ADDUCTOR HIATUS in the adductor magnus.
