1.

The popliteal fossa:

a. True (biceps femoris forms the lateral border of the lower triangle)

b. True (semi-membranosus forms the medial border of the upper triangle)

c. False (the peroneal nerve lies laterally, not medially)

d. True (tibial nerve bisects the triangle)

e. True (the anterior wall is formed by the popliteal surface of the femur)

2. The fibula:

a. False (the peroneal surface gives attachment to the peroneal muscles)

b. False (the posterior surface gives origin to the flexor muscles)

c. False (the lateral surface is subcutaneous, not medial)

d. True (it has the lateral malleolus at its apex)

e. True (common peroneal nerve winds around the neck and divides into superficial and deep peroneal
nerves)
3. Quadriceps femoris:

a. True (all fuse to form the patellar ligament)

b. False (only rectus femoris acts on both hip and knee joints)

c. False (they are all supplied by the femoral nerve)

d. False (rectus femoris flexes the hip and extends the knee)

e. False (vastus intermedius extends the knee)

4. Veins of the lower limb:

a. True (possess valves that prevent retrograde flow)

b. True (varicose veins are caused by valve incompetency)

c. True (muscle contraction aids in venous return)


d. False (venae comitantes are not under pressure at rest)

e. False (not all are true)

5. The femoral triangle:

a. False (its base is formed by the inguinal ligament)

b. False (its apex is formed by the meeting point of Sartorius and adductor longus)

c. True (its lateral border is formed by the lateral edge of Sartorius)

d. True (its medial border is formed by the lateral border of adductor longus)

e. True (its floor is formed by iliacus, psoas major, pectineus, and adductor longus)

6. Structures passing from the gluteal region into the pelvis through the lesser sciatic foramen:

a. False (superior gluteal artery passes through the greater sciatic foramen)

b. False (superior gluteal nerve passes through the greater sciatic foramen)
c. False (posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh passes through the greater sciatic foramen)

d. False (sciatic nerve passes through the greater sciatic foramen)

e. False (inferior gluteal nerve passes through the greater sciatic foramen)

7. The subsartorial canal:

a. True (also known as Hunter’s canal)

b. True (posterior wall is formed by adductor magnus)

c. True (roof is formed by Sartorius muscle)

d. True (it is triangular in shape)

e. False (anterolateral wall is formed by vastus medialis)

8. About the femoral sheath:


a. True (fascia iliaca forms the posterior wall)

b. False (femoral canal is medial, not intermediate)

c. False (the expanded end faces upwards)

d. True (it contains the node of Cloquet)

9. Adductors of the thigh:

a. False (adductor longus is supplied by the obturator nerve)

b. False (the ischial head of adductor magnus is supplied by the tibial part of the sciatic nerve)

c. False (the ischio-pubic head is supplied by the obturator nerve)

d. True (these muscles adduct the thigh)

e. True (the ischial part helps extend the hip joint)

10. The femoral ring is bounded:


a. False (anteriorly by the inguinal ligament, not its sharp end)

b. False (medially by the lacunar ligament)

c. False (anteriorly by the inguinal ligament)

d. True (laterally by the septum separating it from the femoral artery)

e. True (posteriorly by the superior ramus of the pubis)

11. The intermuscular septa of the thigh:

a. True (medial septum separates extensors from flexors)

b. False (lateral septum separates extensors from adductors)

c. True (posterior septum separates flexors from adductors)

d. False (posterior septum does not separate extensors)

e. False (lateral septum separates extensors from adductors)


12. The gluteal region:

a. True (sacrotuberous ligament forms the foramina)

b. False (sacrospinous ligament divides the sciatic foramina)

c. False (it does not transmit weight directly)

d. True (gemelli muscles lie on either side of the obturator internus tendon)

e. True (piriformis passes through the greater sciatic foramen)

13. Branches of the femoral artery:

a. True (descending genicular is a branch)

b. True (profunda femoris is a major branch)

c. False (short saphenous is a vein)

d. False (no subsartorial artery)


e. False (inferior genicular is from the popliteal artery)

14. The muscle that bisects the greater sciatic foramen is piriformis; its action is as a lateral rotator of
the hip joint and its nerve supply is by the nerve to piriformis.

15. The interosseous membrane between the tibia and fibula separates the extensors anteriorly from
the flexors posteriorly. The anterior and posterior intermuscular septa enclose the peroneal muscles.
