Subinguinal Region - Study Guide
True/False
1. Flexing the knee causes the tibia to move anterior.
2. Extending (dorsiflexion) the ankle causes the dorsum (superior surface) of the foot to move superior.
3. A midsaggital view of the lower extremity may include a mid-shaft view of both the femur and the tibia.
4. The medial circumflex femoral artery leaves the anterior boundary of the femoral triangle by passing between iliopsoas and pectineus.
5. The nerve to the vastus lateralis and the saphenous nerve enter the adductor at the apex of the femoral triangle.
6. Tela subcutanea contributes to the cribriform fascia in the region of the saphenous hiatus.
7. The investing fascia is deep to the skin and deep to the tela subcutanea.
8. Adduction of both thighs will cause the knees to move together and, thus, "close the gap" (obturation) between the thighs.
9. The intertrochanteric line is anterior to the intertrochanteric crest.
10. The adductor tubercle is part of the lateral femoral epicondyle.
11. The femur is the largest bone of the leg (watch out).
12. The falciform edge of the saphenous hiatus is immediately anterior to the femoral canal.
13. The inferior cornu of the saphenous hiatus is immediately anterior the the femoral vein and posterior to the great saphenous vein.
14. The external pudendal artery and the external pudendal vein pass through the saphenous hiatus.
15. The medial region of the saphenous hiatus is marked by a well defined edge of the fascia lata.
16. The superior cornu of the saphenous hiatus is crossed by the superficial epigastric vein.
17. The rectus femoris, but not the vastus intermedius, flexes the hip and extends the knee.
18. The femoral nerve, at the level of the inguinal ligament, lies deep to the iliacus fascia.
19. The medial extent of the femoral sheath is adjacent to the lacunar ligament.
20. The lateral extent of the femoral sheath is adjacent to the iliopectineal arch.
21. The femoral sheath is a prolongation of transversalis fascia.
22. A femoral hernia passes through the femoral ring to then enter the femoral canal.
23. The lateral border of the femoral triangle is marked by the medial border of the sartorius muscle.
24. The femoral artery, within the adductor canal, is posterior side to the femoral vein.
25. The profunda femoral artery (deep femoral a.) leaves the posterior boundary of the femoral triangle by between iliopsoas and adductor brevis.
26. The transverse branch of the later femoral circumflex crosses the medial boundary of the femoral triangle by passing deep to sartorius.
27. The first perforating artery provides the posterior thigh and, by way of an ascending branch, the cruciate anastomosis of the hip joint.
