Reading File

Your list is a regional anatomy map of the groin, pelvis, thigh, arterial supply, and nerve supply. I interpret “GR” as the groin region and “Ts” as triangles of the thigh. If those abbreviations mean something else, tell me when choosing a topic.

At a high level, the inguinal ligament is the key landmark: structures pass from abdomen/pelvis to thigh beneath it through two spaces. The lateral lacuna musculorum mainly transmits iliopsoas and femoral nerve; the medial lacuna vasorum transmits the femoral vessels and contains the femoral canal.

The thigh is commonly organized into anterior, medial, and posterior compartments, each with characteristic muscles, nerve supply, and actions. The femoral artery is the continuation of the external iliac artery in the thigh, while the lumbosacral plexus supplies the pelvis, lower limb, and perineum.

Quick answer

Assuming GR = groin region and Ts = triangles, here are concise anatomy notes.

1. Borders of the groin region

The groin is the junctional region between the lower anterior abdominal wall and upper thigh.

Superior: lower anterior abdominal wall
Inferior: upper medial thigh
Key landmark: inguinal ligament, from anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to pubic tubercle
Medial relation: pubic region and external genitalia
Lateral relation: iliac region and hip

The inguinal ligament divides the lower limb entry passage into:

Lateral lacuna musculorum
Medial lacuna vasorum

2. Regions of the thigh

The thigh is divided by deep fascia and intermuscular septa into three compartments:

Compartment	Main muscles	Main nerve	Main action
Anterior	Quadriceps, sartorius, iliopsoas	Femoral nerve	Hip flexion, knee extension
Medial	Adductors, gracilis, obturator externus	Obturator nerve	Adduction of thigh
Posterior	Hamstrings	Sciatic nerve	Hip extension, knee flexion

Important surface regions:

Femoral triangle
Adductor canal
Gluteal region posteriorly
Popliteal fossa at the distal posterior thigh/knee

3. Triangles of the thigh

The major triangle is the femoral triangle.

Boundaries

Superior/base: inguinal ligament
Lateral: medial border of sartorius
Medial: medial border of adductor longus
Apex: where sartorius crosses adductor longus
Floor: iliopsoas, pectineus, adductor longus
Roof: fascia lata, superficial fascia, skin

Contents from lateral to medial:
NAVEL

N: femoral nerve
A: femoral artery
V: femoral vein
E: femoral canal contains empty space/lymphatics
L: deep inguinal lymph nodes

4. Lacuna musculorum

The lacuna musculorum is the lateral compartment under the inguinal ligament, between the inguinal ligament and pelvic bone.

Boundaries

Anterior: inguinal ligament
Posterior: iliac bone and iliopsoas fascia
Medial: iliopectineal arch
Lateral: ASIS region

Contents

Iliopsoas muscle
Femoral nerve
Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, often near this area

It provides passage of the iliopsoas and nerves from pelvis into the thigh.

5. Lacuna vasorum

The lacuna vasorum is the medial space below the inguinal ligament.

Boundaries

Anterior: inguinal ligament
Posterior: superior pubic ramus and pectineal ligament/fascia
Medial: lacunar ligament
Lateral: iliopectineal arch

Contents, lateral to medial

Femoral artery
Femoral vein
Femoral canal with lymphatic vessels and deep inguinal lymph node

The femoral canal is clinically relevant because it is the site of a femoral hernia.

6. Femoral triangle

See Section 3 for boundaries and contents.

Clinical importance

Femoral arterial pulse is palpated just inferior to the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.
Femoral artery can be used for arterial catheterization.
Femoral vein may be used for venous access.
Femoral nerve block may be performed near this region.
Femoral hernia occurs medial to the femoral vein.

7. Femoral canal

The femoral canal is the medial compartment of the femoral sheath.

Location

Medial to femoral vein
Extends from the femoral ring to the lower end of the femoral sheath

Contents

Loose connective tissue
Lymphatic vessels
Deep inguinal lymph node, usually the node of Cloquet/Rosenmüller

Function

Allows expansion of the femoral vein when venous return from the lower limb increases.

Femoral ring boundaries

Anterior: inguinal ligament
Posterior: pectineal ligament and superior pubic ramus
Medial: lacunar ligament
Lateral: femoral vein

Clinical

Femoral hernias enter through the femoral ring.
They occur more commonly in women and are at relatively high risk of strangulation.

8. Inguinal canal

An oblique passage in the lower anterior abdominal wall, about 4 cm long, above the medial half of the inguinal ligament.

Openings

Deep inguinal ring: opening in transversalis fascia, lateral to inferior epigastric vessels
Superficial inguinal ring: opening in external oblique aponeurosis, above and lateral to pubic tubercle

Walls

Anterior wall: external oblique aponeurosis; reinforced laterally by internal oblique
Posterior wall: transversalis fascia; reinforced medially by conjoint tendon
Roof: arching fibers of internal oblique and transversus abdominis
Floor: inguinal ligament; reinforced medially by lacunar ligament

Contents

Male: spermatic cord and ilioinguinal nerve
Female: round ligament of uterus and ilioinguinal nerve

Clinical

Indirect inguinal hernia passes through the deep ring and may traverse the canal.
Direct inguinal hernia passes through the posterior wall in Hesselbach triangle.

9. Muscles of pelvis and thigh

Pelvic/hip muscles

Iliopsoas: major flexor of hip
Gluteus maximus: extends hip
Gluteus medius and minimus: abduct thigh; stabilize pelvis during walking
Piriformis: lateral rotation of extended thigh

10. Common iliac artery

The abdominal aorta divides at approximately vertebral level L4 into right and left common iliac arteries.

Each common iliac artery divides near the sacroiliac joint into:

Internal iliac artery: supplies pelvis, gluteal region, perineum, and pelvic organs.
External iliac artery: runs along pelvic brim and becomes the femoral artery below the inguinal ligament.

11. Femoral artery

The femoral artery is the continuation of the external iliac artery after it passes deep to the inguinal ligament.

Course

Enters femoral triangle
Descends through adductor canal
Passes through adductor hiatus in adductor magnus
Becomes the popliteal artery

Main branches

Superficial epigastric artery
Superficial circumflex iliac artery
Superficial external pudendal artery
Deep external pudendal artery
Profunda femoris artery
Descending genicular artery

Profunda femoris artery

Major deep artery of the thigh
Gives medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries and perforating branches.

12. Lumbosacral plexus

The lumbosacral plexus supplies the lower limb, pelvis, and perineum.

Lumbar plexus: L1-L4

Located in psoas major.

Main nerves:

Iliohypogastric: L1

Major clinical point:
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It supplies the posterior thigh and, via its tibial and common fibular divisions, most of the leg and foot.

The unifying landmark is the inguinal ligament. It is the lower border of the anterior abdominal wall and the gateway into the thigh. Deep to it, the lateral muscular compartment conveys iliopsoas and femoral nerve, while the medial vascular compartment conveys the femoral vessels and femoral canal. The femoral artery then traverses the femoral triangle and adductor canal before becoming the popliteal artery. Nerve supply of the lower limb is organized through the lumbar and sacral plexuses.
