THE ABDOMINAL WALLS. in 



The femoral artery, 613-14-15-16; Fig. 372. (602-3-4, 606) 

 Relations of the common femoral artery : 



In front. Behind. Inner side. Outer side. 

 Relations of the superficial femoral artery in Scarpa's triangle : 



In front. Behind. Outer side. Inner side. 

 Branches of the femoral artery : 



(A) From the common femoral, 618. (606) 



(i), (2), (3), already shown. 



(4) Deep or inferior external pudic artery. 



(5) Profunda or deep femoral (followed later). 



(B) From the superficial femoral in Scarpa's triangle, 621. (609) 



Muscular. Saphenous. 



Reflect the fascia lata from the front and inner side of the thigh, knee, and upper portion of the leg. 

 Expose and separate the muscles, as indicated. The vessels and nerves will be exposed as the muscles 

 are separated, and should be traced to their place of distribution or followed through the region. 



The sartorius, 369-70 ; Fig. 287. (368-9) 



Origin. Insertion. Structure. Nerve-supply. Action. Relations. Variations. 



Follow the superficial femoral artery down the thigh, separating the muscles to expose the vessel. Note 

 the relations of each portion. 



Line of the femoral artery. Hunter's canal, 1213-14-15. (1189-90-1-2) 

 Open the canal and expose the vessels. 



Relations of the superficial femoral artery in Hunter's canal, 616^ (604) 



In front. Behind. Inner side. Outer side.
