Bones
Part II Ligaments:
17.
The hip joint is supported by three broad ligaments that join together to help form the joint
capsule. Two of these ligaments are located anteriorly and one posteriorly. Complete the
table below relative to these ligaments.

The femoral triangle, which is formed by the ________________________ superiorly, the
__________________________ laterally, and the ____________________________
medially, is a clinically important landmark due to the structures contained within it. The
inguinal lymph nodes are located within this triangular area, which are important to
evaluate when infection or systemic disease is suspected. What are the other key structures
contained within the femoral triangle?
22.
What nerve innervates the majority of the posterior thigh? How far distally does this nerve
travel?
