40
dorsal divisions of L2-L4 of the lumbar plexus form
the femoral nerve
41
the ventral divisions of L2-L4 of the lumbar plexus form
the obturator nerve
42
Referring to iliopsoas, what's the difference between the origin and insertions of psoas major and iliacus?
psoas major originates on the TP and bodies of L5-T12 and inserts into the lesser trochanter via the strong tendon iliacus originates inf to that. (sup 2/3 of iliac fossa, ala of sacrum and ant sacroiliac ligament) also inserts into the lesser trochanter via the strong psoas tendon AND the shaft of femur just inf to the lesser trochanter
43
What does iliacus do when the vert column is fixed
flexes thigh
44
when iliacus acts inferiorly unilaterally, what does it do
laterally flexes trunk
45
when iliacus acts inferiorly bilaterally with fixed thigh, what does it do
flexes trunk
46
what's the difference in innervation in the iliacus muscles?
psoas major - lumbar plexus- ventral rami L1-3(4) | iliacus L2-L4
47
TFL originates at ASIS and the iliac crest to the...
iliac tubercle
48
Where does the iliotibial tract eventually end up
lateral condyle of tibia
49
What four muscles receive innervation from the femoral n. L2-L4?
iliacus, sartorius, quadriceps (4 muscles), and pectineus
50
both TFL and Sartorius originate at ASIS, flex, and abduct the thigh, what do they do differently?
TFL internally rotates thigh | Sartorius externally rotates thigh
51
Sartorius' origin and insertion both have the "superior part" of something. what are they
o - sup. part of notch inferior | i - sup. part of medial surface of tibia
52
Which Quad muscle does not originate on the femur alone
Rectus femoris - AIIS and groove sup to acetabulum
53
where do all quad muscles insert

56
Which adductor muscles also flex thigh at the hip
pectineus, brevis, adductor part of magnus
57
A magnus has two parts, adductor and hamstring. both adduct the thigh, but what do they do opposite?

72
from lat to med, the contents of femoral triangle

73
what is the purpose of the femoral canal
allows for venous expansion of vein during times of high venous return
74
If this structure is ruptured, small intestine can bulge into and/or become stranulated
femoral sheath. different than inguinal hernia
75
what is the femoral sheath an extension of
abdominal transversalis fascia and iliac fascia
76
what does the femoral sheath contain?
contens of the femoral triangle for 4 cm, not femoral and saphenous nerves

what three compartments is the femoral sheath divided into
for artery, vein, and femoral canal
78
What is the tunnel beneath the sartorius that carries the femoral artery, vein, and saphenous nerve
adductor canal
79
where does the adductor canal end?
the adductor hiatus in adductor magnus
80
what are the boundaries of the adductor canal
lateral - vastus medialis posteromedial - a longus and magnus anterior - sartorius roof - sartorius and subsartorial fascia
81
what is the diamond shaped area at the posterior aspect of the knee
popliteal fossa
82
