| A. On the medial side of the femoral vein DEEP TO THE FASCIA LATAB. One way valves maintain upward flow-->communicates by perforating veins with deep veins; incompentent valves cause VARICOSE VEINSC. Upper opening of the canal into the abdomen; closed by extraperitoneal connective tissueD. Enters the thigh by passing behind inguinal ligament as direct continuation of the external iliac artery; lies midway between anterior superior iliac spine and the symphisis pubisE. External iliac artery-->femoral artery-->popliteal artery-->anterior tibial artery (dorsalis pedis artery) and posterior tibial artery (medial and lateral plantar arteries, fibular artery)F. Ascends posterior to the lateral malleolus; winds up and posterior to the calf; drains into popliteal vein behind knee; communicates with deep veins via perforating veinsG. Divided into three compartments by septa: femoral artery, femoral vein, femoral canal (NOTE THAT THE FEMORAL NERVE IS NOT INSIDE)H. Potrusion of abdominal contents through femoral canal; more common in females (wider canal structure)I. Sartorius, iliacus, psoas major, quadriceps femoris, pectineusJ. Femoral nerve (not in sheath!), femoral sheath (artery, vein), deep inguinal nodesK. Gracilus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, and obturator externusL. Fourth perforating artery of the profunda femoris; it is a direct continuation of the profunda femorisM. Femoral nerve (sometimes help from obturator nerve); flexes and adducts the thighN. Compression of the blood supply of the viscusO. Femoral nerve and arteryP. Psoas: L2-L4, Iliacus: Femoral nerve; CHIEF FLEXOR OF THE HIPQ. Superior: inguinal ligament; Medial: adductor longus; Lateral: sartorius; Floor: illiopsoas (lateral) and pectineus, adductor longus (medial)R. Passes ANTERIOR to MEDIAL malleolus-->up medial side of leg (receives branches of small saphenous vein)-->continues up medial side of thigh-->enters saphenous opening of fascia lata-->emites into femoral veinS. EXTENSOR of the leg; femoral nerve; rectus femoris also flexes the hip joint; all of the quadriceps are important supports for the knee jointT. L2, L3, L4; branches into anterior and posterior in obturator canal; both branches emerge into thigh behind the pectineus muscle in front of OR through obturator externus |
