Q
  1. What is the angle of inclination? How does the angle correlate with age and sex?
A

Angle of inclination is the angle which the head connects to the shaft through the neck
Angle is widest at birth then decreases with age (narrowest in old age)
Angle less in females because female have wider hips

Q
  1. Where do the genital branches of the genitofemoral and ilioinguinal nerves emerge from? To supply what? Levels?
A

Come from superficial ring to supply proximal medial thigh
Most of the branches go to genital region

Levels: Genital branches of the genitofemoral (L1,L2) and ilioinguinal (L1) nerves

Q
  1. What area does the superficial epigastric artery supply?
A

Goes superiorly to supply skin over the lower abdominal wall

17
Q
  1. How does the superficial circumflex iliac artery proceed? What does its path parallel?
A

Proceeds laterally inferior to the inguinal ligament

Parallels course of the deep circumflex artery

18
Q
  1. Where does the great saphenous vein begin and end?
    Located in what fascia?
    What is a remarkable feature of this vein?
    How does it enter the thigh?
    Transverse what opening to empty into?
A
  1. Great saphenous v
  • Begins in the foot and ascends to its termination at the proximal part of the thigh
  • Located in the superficial fascia
  • Has valves; more numerous in the leg
  • Enters the thigh by passing posterior to the medial condyle of the femur
  • Traverses the saphenous opening in the fascia lata to empty into the femoral vein
