BRIEF ANATOMY OF FEMORAL TRIANGLE (1)

The femoral triangle is a land mark for anatomical dissection,
Its is a major site of the thigh region.
The femoral triangle is bounded:
Superiorly by the inguinal ligament
Inferiorly by the adductor hiatus
Medially by the later border of the adductor canal
Laterally by the medial border of sartorius muscle.
The femoral triangle is seen to have its apex at the junction where the satorius traverse the adductor longus
The femoral triangle has it floor has the inguinal ligament .
The femoral triangle is of two lacuna the
Muscular lacuna and the vascular lacuna
The muscular lacuna allows passage of the femoral nerve,
The vascular lacuna allows the femoral sheath which houses the vessels passing through femoral triangle.
The vessels are the laterally placed femoral artery and the femoral vein, with lymph nodes inclusive.
The femoral arteriy is a continuation of the external iliac artery,,which trasverse through the iguinal ligament posteriorly and enters the femoral triangle as the femoral artery..
Its fans out inferiorly through the hiatus and enters the popliteal fossa to become the popliteal artery.

The femoral vein is a venous trail from the small saphenous vein.
Its bocomes the popliteal vein at the region of the popliteal fossa.
It continues as the femoral vein into the adductor hiatus,,
The femoral vein drains to the inguinal vein.
The lymphatic vessels of the femoral triangle are of deep and superficial lymph nodes.
