Adductor Longus Muscle
Lateral boundary of femoral triangle
Sartorius Muscle
Which structure forms based f femoral triangle?
Inguinal ligament
which muscles form vast proportion of floor of femoral triangle
Pectineus
Iliopsoas
What are the 3 major structures present in femoral triangle
Pectineus
Ilopsoas
Adductor Longus
The femoral sheath is funnel shaped tube made up of
Connective Tissue
The femoral sheath lateral contents
Femoral Artery
Femoral sheath intermediate contents
Femoral Vein
Femoral Sheath medial contents
Femoral Canal
What are the contents of femoral canal
Fat and Loose Connect Tissue
Lymphatic Vessels
Cloquet Node
What is the main artery of lower limb
Femoral Artery
Femoral artery begins where
Inguinal ligament as continuation of external iliac artery
Femoral artery enters thigh midway between which 2 bony surface markings
Ant Sup Iliac Spine and Pubic Symphysis
What is the deep artery in leg
Profunda Femoris
Femoral Vein is continuation of
Popliteal Vein
Femoral vein passes proximally where
enters femoral triangle and becomes external iliac vein as it passes under inguinal ligament
Which two important veins drain into femoral vein?
Profunda Femoris and Greater Saphenous Vein
what is the largest branch of lumbar plexus
Femoral Nerve
Which nerve passes deep to inguinal ligament
Femoral Nerve
The femoral nerve enters femoral triangle where
Lateral to Femoral Vessels
As the neuromuscular structures of anterior thigh pass distally towards apex of femoral triangle, they begin to pass deep in a sheath called
adductor canal
What is an anatomical opening in adductor muscle
Adductor Hiatus
What allows anterior femoral artery to become posterior popliteal artery
Adductor Hiatus
