A. AExplanation
The femoral sheath is a structure in the thigh that surrounds the femoral artery, femoral vein, and femoral canal. It is formed by the fascia iliaca anteriorly and extends for about 4 cm in the thigh. It contains inguinal lymph nodes and has a medial compartment that contains connective tissue and a lymph node. Therefore, the correct answer is that it is not formed by the fascia iliaca anteriorly.Rate this question:

D. DExplanation
Femoral hernia is a type of hernia that occurs in the groin area, specifically through the femoral canal. It is more common in females, which is why option a is correct. Option b is also correct as it correctly states that the hernia passes through the femoral canal. Option c is correct as it describes the path that the hernia takes, which is downwards, then forwards, then upwards, and finally laterally. Option d, however, is incorrect. The neck of the hernial sac actually lies lateral to the pubic tubercle, not medial to it.Rate this question:

- Fascia lata.
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
Correct Answer
B. BExplanation
The anterior wall of the femoral sheath is formed by the fascia transversalis. The femoral sheath is a tubular structure located in the groin region that contains the femoral artery, femoral vein, and lymphatic vessels. The fascia transversalis is a layer of connective tissue that lines the abdominal cavity and helps to support and protect the organs. It forms the anterior wall of the femoral sheath, providing structural integrity and support to the vessels within it.Rate this question:

- Femoral nerve.
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
The femoral sheath is a fascial structure in the groin region that encloses the femoral artery and vein. It also contains the femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve, which provides sensory innervation to the upper thigh and genital region. Additionally, deep inguinal lymph nodes are located within the femoral sheath. The femoral nerve, however, does not pass through the femoral sheath. It exits the pelvis separately and innervates the muscles of the anterior thigh.Rate this question:
- 15.
Which fascia forms the posterior wall of Femoral sheath:
- Iliac.
- Deep fascia of thigh.
- Transversalis.
- Cribriform.
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
Correct Answer
A. AExplanation
The correct answer is Iliac. The fascia that forms the posterior wall of the Femoral sheath is the Iliac fascia. The Femoral sheath is a tubular structure in the groin region that contains the femoral artery, femoral vein, and femoral canal. The Iliac fascia is a strong fibrous layer that covers the inner surface of the iliac bone. It helps to provide support and protection to the structures within the Femoral sheath.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. AExplanation
The Sartorius muscle is not one of the muscles forming the floor of the femoral triangle. The muscles that do form the floor of the femoral triangle include the Pectineus, Adductor longus, and Psoas major. The Sartorius muscle is a long, thin muscle that runs diagonally across the front of the thigh, but it does not contribute to the formation of the femoral triangle.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. CExplanation
The inguinal ligament is formed by the lower border of the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the abdomen. It does form a boundary between the anterior abdominal wall and the front of the thigh. Its medial part does form the lacunar ligament. However, it is not attached medially to the ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine) and laterally to the pubic tubercle. Therefore, the correct answer is c.Rate this question:

The femoral artery enters the thigh: a-Anterior to inguinal ligament at the midinguinal point. b-Posterior to inguinal ligament at the midinguinal point. c-Anterior to inguinal ligament at the midpoint of inguinal ligament. d-Posterior to inguinal ligament at the midpoint of inguinal ligament.
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
Correct Answer
B. BExplanation
The correct answer is b. The femoral artery enters the thigh posterior to the inguinal ligament at the midinguinal point. This is because the femoral artery passes through the femoral triangle, which is a triangular space bordered by the inguinal ligament superiorly, the sartorius muscle laterally, and the adductor longus muscle medially. The femoral artery is located deep to the inguinal ligament and enters the thigh posteriorly in this region.Rate this question:

- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
The femoral artery descends on the adductor longus, adductor magnus, and pectineus muscles. The correct answer is d because the femoral artery does not descend on the iliacus muscle.Rate this question:
