. Anatomy, descriptive and applied. Anatomy. 686 THE VASCULAR SYSTEMS the apex of Scarpa's triangle to the femoral opening in the Adductor magnus muscle. It is bounded, externally, by the Vastus internus; internally, by the Adductors longus and magnus muscles; and is covered in by a strong aponeurosis which extends transversely from the Vastus internus across the femoral vessels to the Adductor longus and magnus; lying on which aponeurosis is the Sartorius muscle. It contains the femoral artery and vein enclosed in their own sheath of areolar tissue, the vein being behind and on the Outer side of the artery, and the internal or long saphenous nerve lying at first on the outer side and then in front of the vessels. Relations.—The relations of the artery differ along its course. In Scarpa's triangle the femoral artery is very superficial, being covered by the skin and superficial fascia, superficial inguinal lymph nodes, the iliac portion of the fascia lata, and the anterior part of the femoral sheath. The femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve courses for a short distance within the outer compartment of the femoral sheath and lies at first in front and then on the outer side of the artery. Near the apex of Scarpa's triangle the internal cutaneous nerve crosses the artery from without inward. Behind the artery are the posterior part of the femoral sheath, the pubic portion of the fascia lata, the inner part of the tendon of the Psoas, the Pectineus and Adductor longus. The artery is separated from the capsule of the hip-joint by the tendon of the Psoas, from the Pectineus by the femoral vein and profunda vessels, and from the Adductor longus by the femoral vein. The nerve to the Pectineus passes inward behind the artery. On the outer side of the artery, but separated from it by some fibres of the Psoas, is the femoral nerve. The femoral vein is on the inner side of the upper part of the artery, but is behind the vessel in the lower part of Scarpa's triangle. Plan
