| nervus femoralis | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve originating in the lumbar spinal cord (usually l2 to l4) and traveling through the lumbar plexus to provide motor innervation to extensors of the thigh and sensory innervation to parts of the thigh, lower leg, and foot, and to the hip and knee joints.

| annulus femoralis | 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) |

| arteria femoralis | <anatomy, artery> The main artery of the thigh, a continuation of the external iliac artery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| canalis femoralis | The medial compartment of the femoral sheath. Synonym: canalis femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami cutanei anteriores nervi femoralis | Anterior cutaneous branches of femoral nerve; supplies distal 3/4 of skin and superficial fascia of anterior and medial thigh. Synonym: rami cutanei anteriores nervi femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus femoralis nervi genitofemoralis | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of genitofemoral nerve distributed to skin of uppermost part of anterior thigh. Synonym: ramus femoralis nervi genitofemoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena femoralis | <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) |
| regio femoralis | The region of the thigh between hip and knee. Synonym: regio femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio femoralis anterior | The front of the thigh, including the femoral triangle. Synonym: facies femoralis anterior, anterior surface of thigh, regio femoralis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio femoralis posterior | The back of the thigh. Synonym: facies femoralis posterior, posterior surface of thigh, regio femoralis posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus femoralis | An autonomic plexus surrounding the femoral artery, derived from the iliac plexus. Synonym: plexus femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies femoralis anterior | An alternate term for anterior region of thigh. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies femoralis posterior | An alternate term for posterior region of thigh. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fovea femoralis | A depression on the peritoneal surface of the abdominal wall, inferior to the inguinal ligament, corresponding to the situation of the femoral ring. Synonym: crural fossa, fovea femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion of nervus intermedius | The sensory ganglion of the facial (7th cranial) nerve. The geniculate ganglion cells send central processes to the brainstem and peripheral processes to the taste buds in the anterior tongue, the soft palate, and the skin of the external auditory meatus and the mastoid process. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nervus | 1. <anatomy> One of the whitish and elastic bundles of fibres, with the accompanying tissues, which transmit nervous impulses between nerve centers and various parts of the animal body. An ordinary nerve is made up of several bundles of nerve fibres, each bundle inclosed in a special sheath (the perineurium) and all bound together in a connective tissue sheath and framework (the epineurium) containing blood vessels and lymphatics. 2. A sinew or a tendon. 3. Physical force or steadiness; muscular power and control; constitutional vigor. "he led me on to mightiest deeds, Above the nerve of mortal arm." (Milton) 4. Steadiness and firmness of mind; self-command in personal danger, or under suffering; unshaken courage and endurance; coolness; pluck; resolution. 5. Audacity; assurance. 6. <botany> One of the principal fibrovascular bundles or ribs of a leaf, especially when these extend straight from the base or the midrib of the leaf. 7. <zoology> One of the nervures, or veins, in the wings of insects. <anatomy> Nerve cell, the operation of stretching a nerve in order to remedy diseases such as tetanus, which are supposed to be influenced by the condition of the nerve or its connections.
