Nerven und Blutgefäße von Hüfte und Oberschenkel

This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the hip and thigh, focusing on the major vessels and nerves. It begins with an introduction to the region, followed by a detailed examination of the arteries, including the femoral and circumflex arteries. The tutorial then covers the veins, particularly the femoral vein, and concludes with an in-depth look at the nerves, such as the femoral, sciatic, and gluteal nerves. The tutorial aims to enhance understanding of the vascular and nervous systems in the hip and thigh, crucial for anatomy courses.

Which artery is considered the largest and most important in the leg?

• Circumflex femoris artery

• Femoral artery

• Inferior gluteal artery

• Superior gluteal artery

What is the primary function of collateral arteries?

• To remove waste products

• To supply oxygen to the muscles

• To ensure continuous blood flow

• To transport nutrients

What is the significance of the term 'circumflexa' in the context of arteries?

• It denotes arteries that supply the adductor muscles

• It indicates arteries that supply the quadriceps

• It describes arteries that run in a spiral around the femur

• It refers to arteries that supply the gluteal region

Where do the superior and inferior gluteal arteries originate from?

• Femoral artery

• Internal iliac artery

• Common iliac artery

• External iliac artery

What is the main role of the femoral vein?

• To supply oxygen-rich blood to the leg

• To supply nutrients to the muscles

• To transport oxygen-poor blood to the pelvis

• To regulate blood pressure

Which nerve is responsible for innervating the gluteus maximus muscle?

• Superior gluteal nerve

• Inferior gluteal nerve

• Femoral nerve

• Sciatic nerve

What is the function of the saphenous nerve?

• To innervate the quadriceps femoris

• To control the adductor muscles

• To supply the gluteal muscles

• To provide sensory supply to the front and inside of the leg

Which nerve is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus?

• Sciatic nerve

• Femoral nerve

• Superior gluteal nerve

• Inferior gluteal nerve

What is the primary function of the sciatic nerve?

• To supply the gluteal region

• To innervate the quadriceps femoris

• To supply most of the thigh and lower leg muscles

• To control the adductor muscles

Which nerve can become irritated during surgical procedures due to its long course in the pelvis?

• Inferior gluteal nerve

• Sciatic nerve

• Lateral cutaneous femoris nerve

• Femoral nerve
