Just inferolateral to the pubic tubercle the fascia extends downwards forming an arched (falciform) margin of the lateral boundary of the opening. It is covered by a thin perforated part of the superficial fascia called the fascia cribrosa which is pierced by the great saphenous vein, the 3 superficial branches of the femoral artery (except superficial circumflex iliac artery, which pierces ...
The femoral artery gives off the deep femoral artery and descends along the anteromedial part of the thigh in the femoral triangle. It enters and passes through the adductor canal , and becomes the popliteal artery as it passes through the adductor hiatus in the adductor magnus near the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the thigh.
It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall. The external iliac artery passes beneath the inguinal ligament in the lower part of the abdomen and becomes the femoral ...
Each ovary is whitish in color and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus in a region called the ovarian fossa.The ovarian fossa is the region that is bounded by the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery.
After piercing the femoral sheath and fascia cribrosa, it courses medialward, across the spermatic cord (or round ligament in the female), to be distributed to the integument on the lower part of the abdomen, the scrotum in the male, and the labium majus in the female, anastomosing with branches of the internal pudendal artery.
Femoral vein and its tributaries - The vein lies medial to the femoral artery at the base of the triangle but as it approaches the apex of the triangle, it lies posteromedially to the femoral artery. It receives drainage from great saphenous vein, circumflex veins, and veins corresponding to the branches of the femoral artery here. [2]
Gray1146: Femoral vessels as they pass under the inguinal ligament. The femoral vessels are those blood vessels passing through the femoral ring into the femoral canal [1] thereby passing down the length of the thigh until behind the knee. These large vessel are the: Femoral artery (also known in this location as the common femoral artery) and ...
The ovarian arteries are paired structures that arise from the abdominal aorta, usually at the level of L2. After emerging from the aorta, the artery travels within the suspensory ligament of the ovary and enters the mesovarium. The ovarian arteries are the corresponding arteries in the female to the testicular artery in the male.
