The adductor magnus lies inferiorly to the femoral triangle.","question2":"Which of these structures doesn't form the floor of the femoral triangle? ","answers2":"Iliopsoas | Adductor longus | Fascia lata | Pectineus muscles","correctAnswer2":"2","correctAnswerText2":"The floor of the femoral triangle is made up of the iliopsoas, adductor longus and pectineus muscles. The cribiform fascia form the roof of the femoral triangle.","question3":"The femoral sheath...","answers3":"Contains the femoral nerve, artery and vein in that order moving from most lateral to most medial | Is continuous with femoral fascia inferiorly | Is continuous with transversalis fascia and iliac fascia of abdomen superiorly | Contains the femoral artery, nerve and vein in that order moving from most lateral to most medial","correctAnswerText3":"The femoral sheath is a funnel shaped fascial space extending from the abdomen inferior to the inguinal ligament into the femoral triangle. \r\n\r\nThe femoral sheath is continuous with the transversalis fascia and iliac fascia of abdomen superiorly. Inferiorly it is continuous with the connective tissue overlying the femoral vessels. The femoral sheath does not contain the femoral nerve. The femoral sheath contains the femoral artery, vein and femoral canal in that order, moving from most lateral to most medial.","correctAnswer3":"2","question4":"The femoral nerve divides into multiple branches...","answers4":"4cm below the inguinal ligament | 3cm below the inguinal ligament | 2cm below the inguinal ligament | 1 cm below the inguinal ligament","correctAnswer4":"0","correctAnswerText4":"Approximately 4cm below the inguinal ligament the femoral nerve divides into the anterior and the posterior division. The anterior division compromises of the anterior cutaneous branch, branch of the satorius, branch to the pectineus. The posterior division include the saphenous nerve and branches to the quadriceps femoris. ","question5":"The femoral nerve supplies the hip extensors.","answers5":"True | False","correctAnswer5":"1","correctAnswerText5":"The femoral nerve supplies the hip flexors and the knee extensors. The hip flexors include the pectineus, illacus, and satorius muscle. Hip extensors are supplied by the inferior gluteal nerve and knee flexors are supplied by branches of the sciatic nerve. ","question6":"Branches of the femoral artery do not include...","answers6":"Deep external pudendal artery | Deep circumflex artery | Superficial epigastric artery | Superficial external pudendal artery","correctAnswer6":"1","correctAnswerText6":"The femoral artery (FA) lies in the femoral triangle, medial to the femoral nerve. FA gives rise to \r\n\r\nSuperficial:\r\n\r\n-Superficial circumflex iliac \r\n-Superficial epigastric \r\n-Superficial pudenal \r\n\r\nDeep:\r\n\r\n-Profundus femoris (largest branch) \r\n-Deep external pudenals \r\n\r\nThe deep circumflex (illac) artery arises from the external iliac artery, this supplies the iliacus muscle, iliac fossa and deep abdominal wall of the inguinal region. \r\n","question7":"The \u2018Mickey Mouse Sign\u2019 seen on ultrasonography of the femoral triangle is made up of the great saphenous vein, femoral vein and femoral artery.","answers7":"True | False","correctAnswer7":"0","correctAnswerText7":"Tthe Mickey Mouse sign is said to represent the normal anatomy of the femoral artery, femoral vein ans the great saphenous vein on USS.","question8":"The femoral canal is a site through which can pass? ","answers8":"Saphena Varix | Indirect inguinal hernias | Direct inguinal hernias | Femoral hernias","correctAnswer8":"3","correctAnswerText8":"Femoral hernia can pass through the femoral canal. Femoral hernias are more likely to get strangulated due to the rigidity of the femoral canal. The boundaries of the femoral canal are: \r\n\r\nMedial border \u2013 lacunar ligament\r\nLateral border \u2013 femoral vein\r\nAnterior border \u2013 inguinal ligament\r\nPosterior border \u2013 pectineal ligament, superior ramus of the pubic bone, and the pectineus muscle\r\n","question9":"Cloquet\u2019s node is...","answers9":"The inferior most deep inguinal lymph node | The inferior most deep inguinal lymph node | The superior most deep inguinal lymph node | The inferior least deep inguinal lymph node","correctAnswer9":"2","correctAnswerText9":"Cloquet\u2019s node is the superior most deep inguinal lymph node and is used as the sentinel lymph node in biopsy and lymph node clearance procedures.","question10":"Which of these statements is incorrect in relation to the femoral artery?","answers10":"Is palpable at the mid-inguinal point | Is a common site for atherosclerotic plaque formation | Is the most common access site during percutaneous coronary intervention | Can become aneurysmal due to a weakness in the inner vessel wall","correctAnswer10":"2","correctAnswerText10":"The femoral artery is palpable at the mid-inguinal point, is a common site for atherosclerosis and can become aneurysmal due to a defect in the inner vessel wall. The radial artery is now the most common access site for percutaneous coronary intervention.","question11":"","answers11":"","correctAnswer11":"","correctAnswerText11":"","question12":"","answers12":"","correctAnswer12":"","correctAnswerText12":"","question13":"","answers13":"","correctAnswer13":"","correctAnswerText13":"","question14":"","answers14":"","correctAnswer14":"","correctAnswerText14":"","question15":"","answers15":"","correctAnswer15":"","correctAnswerText15":"","icon":"mid","parentId":"","recapId":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=668"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":671,"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668\/revisions\/671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vapp.rguc.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
