ANAT 315 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Adductor Longus Muscle, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis Muscle
Document Summary
Quadriceps tendon (goes into patellar tendon/ligament and inserts on the tibial tuberosity) All contents are funneled by the femoral sheath, a continuation of the transversalis sheath. 3 muscles insertion with fascial webbing in between: sartorius, gracilis, Femoral canal within the femoral canal, inguinal lymph can travel from external to internal pelvis. Open up in the abdominal cavity, creating a weak spot where the intestines try to push out. Gives off medial + lateral cx aa. , which provide blood supply to the head/neck of femur. Gives off perforating aa. to supply posterior thigh. Come to the medial thigh, passing through the adductor canal (formed from the fascia coming from the adductor muscles) They then come to the posterior knee through the adductor hiatus (formed from adductor magnus) and become the popliteal a. Travels with saphenous n. (the saphenous n. also travels through adductor canal but not through adductor hiatus it does not want to innervate posterior)
