Boundaries
It is bounded by: One mnemonic to remember the boundaries is "So I May Always Love Sally"[1] In sciences dealing with the anatomy of animals, precise anatomical terms of location are necessary for a variety of reasons. ...
The inguinal ligament is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. ...

In sciences dealing with the anatomy of animals, precise anatomical terms of location are necessary for a variety of reasons. ...
The sartorius muscle is a long thin muscle that runs down the length of the thigh. ...
Its floor is formed by the iliopsoas and pectineus. Its roof is formed by the fascia lata. In human anatomy, the hip flexors or iliopsoas are a group of muscles passing through the pelvis that act to flex the hips and rotate the lower spine. ...
The pectineus muscle is a muscle in the inner thigh, by the femur. ...
The deep fascia of the thigh is named, from its great extent, the fascia lata; it constitutes an investment for the whole of this region of the limb, but varies in thickness in different parts. ...
The femoral artery and vein are enveloped within the femoral sheath.
Contents It is important as a number of vital structures pass through it, right under the skin - most notably (from lateral to medial): These structures are contained within the femoral sheath In sciences dealing with the anatomy of animals, precise anatomical terms of location are necessary for a variety of reasons. ...
In sciences dealing with the anatomy of animals, precise anatomical terms of location are necessary for a variety of reasons. ...
The femoral sheath (crural sheath) is formed by a prolongation downward, behind the inguinal ligament, of the fasciæ which line the abdomen, the transversalis fascia being continued down in front of the femoral vessels and the iliac fascia behind them. ...
These structures are also within the femoral triangle: The femoral nerve, the largest branch of the lumbar plexus, arises from the dorsal divisions of the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves. ...

The Iliacus muscle is a muscle of the human body. ...
The psoas major is a muscle of the human abdomen. ...
The pectineus muscle is a muscle in the inner thigh, by the femur. ...
The deep inguinal lymph nodes are located medial to the femoral vein and under the cribriform fascia. ...
Clinical significance Since the femoral triangle provides easy access to a major artery, coronary angioplasty is often performed by entering the femoral artery at the femoral triangle. In first aid, heavy bleeding in the leg can be stopped by applying pressure to points in the femoral triangle. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
First aid is a series of simple, life-saving medical techniques that a non-doctor or layman can be trained to perform. ...
Mnemonics Several mnemonics have been created to remember the order of the nerve, artery, and vein in this triangle:[1] - lateral to medial - "NAVY": nerve, artery, vein, Y-fronts. (Y-fronts are a type of underwear.)
- lateral to medial - "NAVEL" nerve, artery, vein, empty space, lymphatics.
- medial to lateral - "VAN": vein, artery, nerve. These three structures are found in the same order in the intercostal space, from top to bottom.
- medial to lateral - "vagina, artery, nerve"
- the phrase "venous near the penis" can be used to remember that the vein is more medial than the artery or nerve.
Y-fronts is a British colloquialism for the type of mens briefs that have a sideways-slanting fly. ...
A pair of mens briefs Undergarments, also called underwear or sometimes intimate clothing, are clothes worn next to the skin, usually under other clothes. ...
Lymph originates as blood plasma lost from the circulatory system, which leaks out into the surrounding tissues. ...
Intercostal spaces, viewed from the left The intercostal space is the space between two ribs (Lat. ...
The penis (plural penises, penes) is an external male sexual organ. ...
