Question
Answer
What are the arteries that run down the thing?   show
🗑
show Begin as venous networks on the digits; superficial veins do not accompany any named arteries  
🗑
* *Where does the great saphenous vein run?   show
🗑
show One way valves maintain upward flow-->communicates by perforating veins with deep veins; incompentent valves cause VARICOSE VEINS  
🗑
Where is the small saphenous vein? What veins does it communicate with?   show
🗑
Where are the superficial inguinal nodes?   show
🗑
* * Where do the superficial inguinal nodes receive lymph from?   show
🗑
Where do the deep inguinal nodes lie?   show
🗑
What do the deep inguinal nodes drain? Where does the lymph of the deep inguinal nodes go?   show
🗑
show Thickening of the fascia lata on the lateral aspect; runs from the iliac tubercle to the lateral condyle of the tibia  
🗑
show Gap in the deep fascia in the anterior thigh just below the inguinal ligament; transmits the great saphenous vein and lymph vessels  
🗑
What are the muscles of the anterior compartment of the thigh?   show
🗑
What is the main nerve supply of the anterior compartment of the thigh? What is the main blood supply?   show
🗑
* * Nerve and action of the sartorius muscle   show
🗑
show EXTENSOR of the leg; femoral nerve; rectus femoris also flexes the hip joint; all of the quadriceps are important supports for the knee joint  
🗑
show rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius  
🗑
show Expansions of the vastus medialis and the vastus lateralis portions of the quadriceps tendon; attach to the sides of the patella and patellar ligamen to the femoral and tibial condyles; strengthen capsule of knee joint  
🗑
show Psoas: L2-L4, Iliacus: Femoral nerve; CHIEF FLEXOR OF THE HIP  
🗑
show Femoral nerve (sometimes help from obturator nerve); flexes and adducts the thigh  
🗑
show Gracilus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, and obturator externus  
🗑
What is the blood supply of the medial compartment of the thigh?   show
🗑
show Obturator; ADDUCTS the thigh at the hip joint, flexes the leg at the knee joint  
🗑
show Obturator; adducts and flexes the thigh  
🗑
* * What is the nerve and action of the adductor longus?   show
🗑
* * What is the action of the obturator externus?   show
🗑
* * What are the superior, lateral, and medial borders of the femoral triangle? Floor?   show
🗑
* * What are the contents of the femoral canal (LATERAL TO MEDIAL)?   show
🗑
* * What is the femoral sheath?   show
🗑
* * What are the contents of the femoral sheath (lateral to medial)?   show
🗑
show Small medial compartment in the femoral sheath; Borders: anterior--inguinal ligament, posterior--pectineus muscle and fascia, superior ramus of pubis, medial--lacunar ligament, lateral--femoral vein  
🗑
show Upper opening of the canal into the abdomen; closed by extraperitoneal connective tissue  
🗑
show Fat, all efferent vessels from deep inguinal nodes, one deep inguinal lymph node  
🗑
show Potrusion of abdominal contents through femoral canal; more common in females (wider canal structure)  
🗑
show BELOW AND LATERAL to pubic tubercle; ABOVE and MEDIAL. Femoral hernia pass out femoral canal below the inguinal ligament onto the thigh  
🗑
show Compression of the blood supply of the viscus  
🗑
* * Where is the adductor canal?   show
🗑
* * What are the borders of the adductor canal? Lateral, postermedial, anterior   show
🗑
show Popliteal fossa  
🗑
show They change name as they pass through the adductor hiatus  
🗑
show Nerves L2-L4; enters deep to the inguinal ligament and lateral to the femoral sheath; numerous muscular and cutaneous branches within femoral triangle  
🗑
show The saphenous nerve  
🗑
* What spinal nerves supply the obturator nerve? What are its branches? What muscles do they pass through?   show
🗑
* Where is the femoral artery(how does it enter)?   show
🗑
show From the LATERAL SIDE of the FEMORAL ARTERY within the FEMORAL TRIANGLE; passes behind femoral vessels and enters medial compartment of thigh behind adductor longus and on surface of adductor magnus  
🗑
* What are the branches of the profunda femoris?   show
🗑
* * What is the chief blood supply of the posterior compartment of the thigh?   show
🗑
show Obturator  
🗑
