What is the vascular lacuna
A passageway allowing the ext. iliac a. to leave the abdominal cavity and enter the thigh
What point of the external iliac become the femoral
At the vascular lacuna, when going through the femoral triangle
Obturator n. arises from…
L4,5,6
Obturator n. innervates…
Gracilis, pectineus, adductor, and external obturator
Femoral n. arises from…
L4,5,6 and emerges through iliopsoas
