Peripheral anatomy; lower Flashcards
majority of the sensory inntervation of the torso is mediated through _____
intercostal nerves (anterior rami of the T spine)
anterior and lateral cutaneous branches
Lumbarsacral plexus spinal nerve orgins
L1-S4
Lumbar; L1-L4
sacral; L4-S4
iliohypogastric nerve origin
L1
most superior
ilioinguinal nerve origin
L1
Genitofemoral nerve origin
L1-L2
Lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh origin
L2-L3
obturator nerve origin
L2-L4
Femoral nerve origin
L2-L4
Nerves that make up the lumbar plexus
femoral nerve
obturator nerve
Lateral cutaneous nerve
Genitofemoral nerve
ilioinguinal nerve
iliohypogastric nerve
Superior lumbar plexus nerves
ilihypogastric
ilioinguinal
genitorfemoral
L1-L2 nerves
Superior lumbar plexus nerves muscle origin
iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, and genitofemoral run close to or are near the psoas major muscle (helps with posture)
Branches of the iliohypogastric nerve
lateral cutaneous branch
anterior cutaneous branch- Parallel to the inguinal ligament
motor function of the iliohypogastric nerve
transverse abdominal muscle (labored breathing)
internal abdominus muscle
ilioinguinal nerve branches senosry and motor innervation
medial upper thigh/ groin
above the reproductive organs
motor; internal oblique muscle
genitofemoral nerve passes through _____
the psoas muscle
genitofemoral nerve branches
Femoral branch
genital branch
sensory and motor innervation for the genitals
genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve
motor; cremasteric reflex in med
connection points for the inguinal ligament
pubic tubericle and the anterior superior illiac spine
illiac crest indicates____
L4 L5 border
femoral triangle borders
Inguinal Ligament
Adductor Longus
Sartorius
Iliopsoas
Pectineus
Femoral triangle contents
Femoral Nerve> 1cm
Femoral Artery <1cm
Femoral Vein 1 cm
Distance between NAV in fem triangle
1 cm apart from eachother
Fibrous pouch that envelops the femoral NAV
femoral sheath
provides protection
Sensory branch of the femoral nerve
after the motor branching the femoral nerve continues and is called the saphenous nerve and is totally sensory
also the anterior cutaneous branch is a branch of the femoral nerve responsible for sensory
adductor canal borders
Inferior Femoral Triangle
General: Between anterior and medial thigh muscles
