What are the three structures that form the borders of the femoral triangle?
sartorius, adductor longus and the inguinal ligament
What are the borders of the femoral triangle?
femoral triangle is a triangular depression in front of the thigh. boundaries: medial border- medial border of the adductor longus muscle. lateral border- medial border of the sartorius muscle. base - inguinal ligament. apex- sartorius overlapping the adductor longus muscle. apex lies 10cm below the inguinal ligament. roof - skin, superficial fascia, superficial inguinal lymph nodes, superficial veins, fascia lata. floor- lateral to medial side, the floor is formed by the muscles namely illiacus, psoas major, pectineus, adductor longus.
What muscle originates at the anterior superior iliac spine and crosses both hip and knee joints?
The muscle that originate from ASIS is sartorius muscle. Inguinal ligament also originate here. By Binaisa Deus medical student KIU Uganda
What is difference between mid point of inguinal ligament and mid inguinal point?
The midpoint of the inguinal ligament and the mid-inguinal point are two different anatomical landmarks in the inguinal region. In order to understand the difference, some simple anatomical knowledge must be clarified.The inguinal ligament stretches from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle. The pubic symphysis lies just medial to the pubic tubercle and is the fibrous joint between the two halves of the pelvis.Running under the inguinal ligament from medial to lateral are: femoral canal (a potential space that contains mainly lymphatics), femoral vein, femoral artery and femoral nerve.The midpoint of the inguinal ligament is half way between the ASIS and the pubic tubercle and is the location of the femoral nerve. This landmark is used in femoral nerve blocks.The mid-inguinal point is half way between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis and is the location of the femoral artery. This landmark is used in palpation of the femoral pulse.In relation to each other, the mid-inguinal point is more medial than the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.
What bone's Tubercle serves as an attachment point for the inguinal ligament?
The inguinal ligament is a specialization of the inferior border of the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis; it is the site of origin for a part of the internal abdominal oblique muscle and for a part of the transversus abdominis muscle; also known as: Poupart's ligament So basically: - External abdominal muscle - Internal abdominal muscle - Transversus abdominis muscle
What are the two shells of a clam held by?

What is the same as the inguinal region?
The groin region is the same as the inguinal region. This area is located on each side of the body where the abdomen meets the thigh. It contains important structures like the inguinal ligament and lymph nodes.
What is the borders of inguinal region?
The inguinal region is bordered superiorly by the inguinal ligament, inferiorly by the junction of the thigh and pelvis, medially by the pubic symphysis, and laterally by the anterior superior iliac spine.
What runs deep to the external oblique?
The inguinal ligament runs deep to the external oblique muscle.
What is an inguinal hernia?
An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as a part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This can cause a noticeable bulge or swelling in the groin area, which may be painful and require surgical repair to prevent complications.
What structure passes through the inguinal canal?
in males the contents of the inguinal canal are: spermatic cord, illioinguinal nerve, genital branch of genitofemoral nerve. in females: the round ligament of uterus and illioinguinal nerve.
The regional term used to identify the thigh is . a. Frontal b. Femoral c. lumbar d. inguinal?
It is femoral. Femur being bone of the thigh, it can be related to thigh. Frontal is the bone of the skull. Lumber denotes lower back. Inguinal denotes the inguinal ligament. It separates abdomen and thigh.
