  2. medially - ____
  3. laterally - ____
A

inguinal ligament

  1. superiorly- the inguinal ligament
  2. medially- medial aspect of the adductor longus
  3. laterally- medial margin of sartorius
35

A

drains the dorsal venous arch

ends in the femoral vein

39

The 2 superficial veins of lower limb are the

A

great and small(lesser) saphenous veins and their tributaries

40
Q

the small saphenous vein

A

takes blood off the lateral aspect of the foot, up the POSTERIOR aspect of the LEG, and dumps the blood into the popliteal vein (back of knee

41
Q

anterior compartment of thigh muscles all do

A

extension

42

medial compartment of the thigh

A

think adductors

43
Q

inguinal ligament

A

runs down from external abdominal oblique muscle

44
Q

femoral hernia

a loop of ? bowl ? might get pulled down into femoral ring and then it herniates.

45
Q

adductor canal is found

just a little distal to the femoral triangle

46
Q

anterior compartment of the thigh is innervated by

A

THE FEMORAL NERVE

  • with the exception of the pectineus (9% of the time it is the accessory obturator nerve, not the femoral nerve)
  • the exception THE PSOAS MAJOR bc it comes right off of VPR L2-L4
47
