A

Hamstring group of muscles

55
Q

Boundaries of the Femoral Triangle

A

Sartorius Muscle (Laterally), Adductor Longus (Medially), and Inguinal Ligament (Superiorly)

56
Q

If a physician has to perform a procedure around Femoral Nerve, where should he be careful not to inject?

A

not to inject Lateral to Femoral Artery where Femoral nerve is found. Medial to Femoral Artery is Femoral Vein.
“NAVel”

57
Q

Contents of the Femoral Triangle (Lateral to Medial)

A

NAVel

Femoral Nerve, Femoral Artery, Femoral Vein, and Lymphatics

58
Q

which is a major pulse point on the anterior thigh in the femoral triangle?

Through Adductor Canal.
Femoral triangle is continuous inferiorly with the adductor canal which allows passage of femoral AV (Artery/Vein) into the popliteal fossa.

60
Q

Femoral artery and vein as it goes behind the knees changes into

A

Popliteal artery and vein
