Liner Guide:

Answer 21

On the surface of the thigh from the center of the inguinal (femoral) ligament to a center point on the medial condyle (rounded structure on a bone) of the femur (thigh bone)

Question 22

Femoral Artery (hip to knee) 
Anatomical Guide

Answer 22

Through the center of the femoral triangle (three sided area of the thigh) bounded laterally by the Sartorius muscle and medially by the adductor longus muscle.

Question 23

Femoral Artery (hip to knee) 
Anatomical Limits

Answer 23

Begins at a point posterior to the center of the inguinal ligament and terminates at the opening of the adductor magnus muscle - (a point above the back of the knee).

Question 24

Femoral Artery (hip to knee) 
Place of Incision

Answer 24

Along any portion of the superior two-thirds (2/3) of the linear guide. (Where we advocate raising is just inferior to the inguinal ligament). Because the artery and vein lie parallel to each other; visually you will be less likely to puncture the wall of the vein.

Question 25

the superior boundary of the femoral triangle

Answer 25

inguinal ligament

Question 26

The point at which the Sartorius muscle and adductor longus meet is known as

Answer 26

apex of femoral triangle.

Question 27

Fascia tissue

Answer 27

Hunter’s canal

Question 28

Most lateral blood vessel of femoral triangle

Answer 28

femoral artery

Question 29

Most medial structure in femoral triangle in relationship to inguinal ligament

Answer 29

termination of the great saphenous vein

Question 30

``` Femoral Artery (hip to knee) Place of Incision ```

Answer 30

Along any portion of the superior two-thirds (2/3) of the linear guide. (Where we advocate raising is just inferior to the inguinal ligament). Because the artery and vein lie parallel to each other; visually you will be less likely to puncture the wall of the vein.

Question 31

Considerations of raising femoral artery:

Answer 31

Large in size. Lower portion of body can be embalmed without concern of distention of the face. (Allows for equal distribution of fluid to the head.)

Question 32

Precautions of raising femoral artery:

Answer 32

Vessels are deep seated in obese cases. | Drainage may be difficult to establish and maintain.

Question 33

Accompanying vein of femoral artery

Answer 33

Femoral vein

Question 34

in relationship to the femoral artery; Mid-thigh; at a point or below the apex of the femoral triangle; where would the femoral vein lie?

Answer 34

medial and deep

Question 35

in relationship to femoral artery just below the inguinal ligament, the femoral vein lies

Answer 35

medial

Question 36

What is the name of the artery just superior or inferior to the apex of the femoral triangle?

Answer 36

Femoral artery

What is the name of the vein just superior or inferior to the apex of the femoral triangle?

Answer 37

Femoral vein
