Structure & Components of the Adductor Canal

The video tutorial explains the adductor canal, its relation to the femoral triangle, and its role in the passage of blood vessels and nerves. It covers the boundaries and components of the canal, the transition of the femoral artery and vein into the popliteal artery and vein, and the significance of the adductor hiatus. The tutorial also highlights the blood supply in the thigh region and the role of the saphenous nerve.

What marks the transition from the femoral triangle to the adductor canal?

• The vastus medialis muscle

• The popliteal fossa

• The sartorius muscle crossing over the adductor longus

• The inguinal ligament

Which artery is a continuation of the common femoral artery and descends further down the leg?

• Great saphenous artery

• Popliteal artery

• Profunda femoris artery

• Superficial femoral artery

What is the primary function of the adductor canal?

• To serve as an attachment point for the sartorius muscle

• To connect the femoral triangle to the inguinal ligament

• To provide structural support to the thigh

• To allow passage of vessels to the popliteal region

Which muscle forms a hole known as the adductor hiatus?

• Adductor longus

• Adductor Magnus

• Sartorius

• Vastus medialis

What happens to the femoral artery and vein when they exit the adductor hiatus?

• They split into multiple branches

• They become the popliteal artery and vein

• They remain unchanged

• They become the profunda femoris artery and vein

Which nerve accompanies the femoral artery and vein through the adductor canal?

• Sciatic nerve

• Saphenous nerve

• Obturator nerve

• Tibial nerve

What is the role of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal?

• It provides motor function to the thigh muscles

• It is a cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve

• It supplies blood to the adductor muscles

• It connects the femoral triangle to the knee
