Thigh Anatomy and Function

The video tutorial provides a detailed anatomical exploration of the femoral triangle, its boundaries, and contents. It covers the muscles and nerves associated with the femoral triangle, including the iliopsoas, pectineus, and femoral nerve. The tutorial also examines the medial thigh muscles, such as the adductor longus and magnus, and the adductor canal's structure and contents. Finally, it discusses the quadriceps muscles, their insertion points, and their importance in knee extension.

What forms the lateral boundary of the femoral triangle?

• Sartorius

• Inguinal ligament

• Pectineus

• Adductor longus

Which nerve is primarily responsible for supplying the anterior compartment muscles of the thigh?

• Obturator nerve

• Femoral nerve

• Sciatic nerve

• Saphenous nerve

What is the continuation of the external iliac artery in the femoral triangle?

• Profunda femoris artery

• Femoral artery

• Medial circumflex femoral artery

• Lateral circumflex femoral artery

Which artery accompanies the profunda femoris artery?

• Femoral artery

• Obturator artery

• Lateral circumflex femoral artery

• Profunda femoris vein

Which muscle is part of the medial compartment of the thigh?

• Adductor magnus

• Rectus femoris

• Iliopsoas

• Vastus lateralis

What is the primary function of the quadriceps muscle group?

• Flex the knee

• Extend the knee

• Adduct the thigh

• Rotate the hip

Where does the adductor canal begin?

• At the base of the femoral triangle

• At the apex of the femoral triangle

• At the inguinal ligament

• At the adductor hiatus

Which nerve runs through the adductor canal?

• Obturator nerve

• Sciatic nerve

• Saphenous nerve

• Femoral nerve

What is the role of the saphenous nerve?

• Supply the lateral thigh

• Supply the anterior thigh

• Supply the medial leg and foot

• Supply the posterior thigh

Which muscle is not part of the quadriceps group?

• Rectus femoris

• Vastus medialis

• Vastus lateralis

• Adductor longus
