| femoral ring | The superior opening of the femoral canal, bounded anteriorly by the inguinal ligament, posteriorly by the pectineus muscle, medially by the lacunar ligament, and laterally by the femoral vein. Passageway by which many lymphatics from lower limb pass to abdomen. Accommodates enlargement of femoral vein in Valsalva manoeuvre. Often occupied by a lymph node (Cloquet's) and is the site of femoral hernias. Synonym: annulus femoralis, crural ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| femoral septum | The delicate fibrous membrane that closes the femoral ring at the base of the femoral canal. Synonym: septum femorale, Cloquet's septum, crural septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral sheath | The fascia enclosing the femoral vessels, formed by the transversalis fascia anteriorly and the iliac fascia posteriorly; two septa divide the sheath into three compartments, the lateral of which contains the femoral artery and the femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve, the middle the femoral vein, and the medial is the femoral canal. Synonym: crural sheath, infundibuliform sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral triangle | A triangular space at the upper part of the thigh, bounded by the sartorius and adductor longus muscles and the inguinal ligament, with a floor formed laterally by the iliopsoas muscle and medially by the pectineus muscle; the branches of the femoral nerve are distributed within the femoral triangle; it is bisected by the femoral vessels, which enter the adductor canal at its apex. Synonym: trigonum femorale, fossa scarpae major, Scarpa's triangle, subinguinal triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein accompanying the femoral artery in the same sheath; it is a continuation of the popliteal vein and becomes the external iliac vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> A major branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery accompanying the nerve to the vastus lateralis muscle along the anterior border of that muscle and deep to the rectus femoris muscle, supplying both muscles. Anastomosis: with lateral superior genicular artery, i.e., it contributes to the articular network of the knee. Synonym: ramus descendens arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lateral circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, thigh muscles; anastomoses, medial circumflex femoral, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris lateralis, lateral circumflex artery of thigh, lateral femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral circumflex femoral veins | The veins that accompany the lateral circumflex femoral artery, usually terminating in the femoral vein. Synonym: venae circumflexae femoris laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral femoral circumflex artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, thigh muscles; anastomoses, medial circumflex femoral, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris lateralis, lateral circumflex artery of thigh, lateral femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral femoral cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the second and third lumbar nerves, supplies the skin of the anterolateral and lateral surfaces of the thigh. Synonym: nervus cutaneus femoris lateralis, lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral femoral tuberosity | The epicondylus located proximal to the lateral condyle. Synonym: epicondylus lateralis ossis femoris, lateral femoral tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fovea of the femoral head | A depression on the extremity of the head of the femur giving attachment to the ligamentum teres femoris. Synonym: fovea capitis ossis femoris, pit of head of femur. (05 Mar 2000) |
