In human anatomy, the thigh is the area between the hip (pelvis) and the knee. Anatomically, it is part of the lower limb. The single bone in the thigh is called the femur.
The thoracic structure refers to the anatomical components of the thorax, which is the region of the body between the neck and the abdomen, also known as the chest. It includes the thoracic vertebrae, ribs, sternum (breastbone), and associated muscles, ligaments, and organs such as the heart and lungs. The thoracic structure plays a crucial role in protecting vital organs, supporting the upper body, and facilitating respiration.
The thoracic structure encompasses the anatomical elements of the chest region, including the thoracic vertebrae, ribs, sternum, associated muscles, and vital organs such as the heart and lungs. It provides protection, support, and facilitates respiration, highlighting its critical role in overall bodily function and health.The thoracic structure comprises the chest's anatomical components, including vertebrae, ribs, sternum, muscles, and vital organs like the heart and lungs, crucial for protection, support, and respiration..The thoracic structure includes the chest's bones, muscles, and organs, vital for breathing and protecting the heart and lungs.
1. **Thoracic Vertebrae:** The thoracic spine consists of twelve vertebrae (T1-T12) that form the posterior aspect of the thoracic structure. These vertebrae are larger than those in the cervical or lumbar regions and articulate with the ribs, providing stability and support for the upper body.
2. **Ribs:** There are twelve pairs of ribs that attach posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae and curve anteriorly to meet the sternum. Ribs play a vital role in protecting the internal organs of the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and lungs. The upper seven pairs are true ribs, while the lower five pairs are false ribs (some of which do not directly attach to the sternum) or floating ribs.
3. **Sternum:** The sternum is a flat bone located in the center of the anterior thoracic wall. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. The sternum serves as an attachment point for the ribs and provides structural support to the chest.
4. **Muscles:** Several muscles surround the thoracic cavity, contributing to breathing and movement of the chest wall. These include the intercostal muscles (external, internal, and innermost), which are located between the ribs and aid in respiration, as well as muscles such as the diaphragm, which separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities and plays a primary role in breathing.
5. **Organs:** The thoracic cavity houses important organs such as the heart and lungs. The heart is situated in the mediastinum, a central compartment of the thoracic cavity, while the lungs occupy the lateral portions. The thoracic structure provides protection and support for these vital organs while allowing for their necessary movements during respiration and circulation.
Understanding the anatomy and function of the thoracic structure is essential for various medical disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, orthopedics, cardiology, and res
The main artery of the lower limb is the femoral artery. It is a continuation of the external iliac artery (terminal branch of the abdominal aorta). The external iliac becomes the femoral artery when it crosses under the inguinal ligament and enters the femoral triangle.
In the femoral triangle, the profunda femoris artery arises from the posterolateral aspect of the femoral artery. It travels posteriorly and distally, giving off three main branches:
Perforating branches – Consists of three or four arteries that perforate the adductor magnus, contributing to the supply of the muscles in the medial and posterior thigh.
Lateral femoral circumflex artery – Wraps round the anterior, lateral side of the femur, supplying some of the muscles on the lateral aspect of the thigh.
Medial femoral circumflex artery – Wraps round the posterior side of the femur, supplying its neck and head. In a fracture of the femoral neck this artery can easily be damaged, and avascular necrosis of the femur head can occur.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. Femoral Artery
• It is the main artery of the lower limb.
• It enters the femoral triangle behind the inguinal
ligament at the midinguinal point.
• It runs downward and medially successively via
the femoral triangle and adductor canal.
• At the lower end of the adductor canal , it leaves
the thigh via the adductor hiatus to go into
the popliteal fossa where it continues as
the popliteal artery.
4.
5. SURFACE MARKING
• Femoral artery is represented
by the upper two-thirds of a
line joining the midinguinal
point to the adductor tubercle.
The thigh is slightly flexed,
abducted and laterally rotated.
6.
7. EXTENT AND COURSE
• It passes downwards and medially.
• First in the femoral triangle, and then in the
adductor canal.
• At the lower end of the adductor canal, i.e., at
the junction of the middle and lower thirds of
the thigh it passes through an opening in
the adductor magnus (adductor hiatus) to
become the popliteal artery.
8.
9. RELATIONS OF THE FEMORAL ARTERY IN THE FEMORAL TRIANGLE
• 1. The main anterior relations are the skin, superficial
fascia, deep fascia and the anterior wall of the femoral
sheath.
• 2. Posteriorly, the artery rests, from above downwards
on
– Psoas major,
– Pectineus ,
• The profunda artery comes behind the femoral artery as it lies on
the pectineus.
• The nerve to Pectineus passes (from the femoral nerve) medially
behind the artery.
– Adductor longus.
• The posterior wall of the femoral sheath Intervenes
between these structures and the artery.

11. RELATIONS OF THE FEMORAL ARTERY IN THE FEMORAL TRIANGLE
• 3. The femoral artery & the femoral vein.
• The femoral artery is accompanied by the femoral
vein Just below the inguinal ligament. The vein is
medial to the artery.
• However, the femoral vein gradually crosses to the
lateral side posterior to the artery.
• Femoral vein is directly behind the artery at the
apex of the femoral triangle, and lateral to the
lower end of the artery.
• Cont.
12.
13. RELATIONS OF THE FEMORAL ARTERY IN THE FEMORAL TRIANGLE
4. The femoral nerve is lateral to the upper part of
the artery.
– Lower down the artery is related to the branches of the
nerve, some of which cross it.
• The branch to the pectineus crosses behind the upper part of
the artery.
• The medial cutaneous nerve of the thigh crosses the artery
from lateral to medial side near the apex of the femoral
triangle.
• The saphenous branch crosses the artery within the adductor
canal.
• The nerve to the vastus medialis is lateral to the artery in the
adductor canal.
14.
15. RELATIONS OF THE FEMORAL ARTERY IN THE FEMORAL TRIANGLE
• 5. The femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve is
also lateral to the upper part of the femoral artery,
within the femoral sheath, but lower down it passes
to the front of the artery.
• 6. The profunda femoris artery a branch of the
femoral artery itself, and its companion vein, lie
behind the upper part of the femoral artery, where
it lies on the pectineus.
– Lower down, however, the femoral and profunda
arteries are separated by the adductor longus.

18. BRANCHES OF FEMORAL ARTERY
• In the femoral triangle:
–3 superficial branches:
• Superficial epigastric artery,
– Anastomose with the branches of inferior epigastric artery.
• Superficial external pudendal artery.
– Passes laterally parallel to inguinal ligament.
• Superficial circumflex iliac artery.
– Passes medially in front of femoral vein & then crossses the spermatic
cord.
–3 deep branches:
• Profunda femoris artery,
• Deep external pudendal artery,
• Muscular branches.
19. BRANCHES OF FEMORAL ARTERY
–3 deep branches:
• Profunda femoris artery.
–FEMORAL ARTERY & profunda femoris artery
straddles the adductor longus.
• Deep external pudendal artery:
–It originates just 4cm below the inguinal ligament
passes medially behind or in front of femoral vein
in front of pectineus and adductor longus. It
pierces deep fasica to supply the scrotum or
labium majus.
• Muscular branches.
20.
21. BRANCHES OF FEMORAL ARTERY
• In the adductor canal:
• Muscular branches.
• Descending genicular artery.
–The descending genicular artery leaves the canal
by descending inside the substance of vastus
medialis.
–It splits into articular and saphenous branches.
The saphenous branch, also named saphenous
artery, accompanies the saphenous nerve as it
arises via the roof of adductor canal.
22. Alternative names of
FEMORAL ARTERY
Some vascular surgeons, call the first
part of femoral artery, proximal to the
origin of profunda femoris artery as
‘common femoral artery’ and its
continuance distally as ‘superficial
femoral artery’.
23.
24. PROFUNDA FEMORIS ARTERY
• This is the largest branch of the femoral artery. It is the
chief artery of supply to all the three compartments of
the thigh.
• It arises from the lateral side of the femoral artery
about 4 cm below the inguinal ligament. The origin lies
in front of the iliacus. As the artery descends, it passes
posterior to the femoral vessels.
• It leaves the femoral triangle by passing deep to the
adductor longus. Continuing downwards, it passes first
between the adductor longus and the adductor brevis,
and then between the adductor longus and the
adductor magnus. Its terminal part pierces the
adductor magnus to end by becoming fourth
perforating artery.
27. The profunda femoris artery
• The profunda femoris artery gives off the medial and
lateral circumflex femoral arteries, and four perforating
arteries.
• The medial circumflex femoral artery leaves the
femoral triangle by passing posteriorly, between the
pectineus and the psoas major muscles.
• The lateral circumflex femoral artery runs laterally
between the anterior and posterior divisions of the
femoral nerve, passes behind the sartorius and the
rectus femoris, and divides into ascending, transverse
and descending branches.
• Perforating branches – Consists of three or four
arteries that perforate the adductor magnus,
contributing to the supply of the muscles in the medial
and posterior thigh.
28. The lateral circumflex femoral artery
• The ascending branch runs deep to the tensor
fasciae latae, gives branches to the hip joint and
the greater trochanter, and anastomoses with
the superior gluteal artery.
• The transverse branch pierces the vastus
lateralis and takes part in the cruciate anastomosis
on the back of the thigh just below the greater
trochanter.
• The descending branch runs down along the
anterior border of the vastus lateralis, accompanied
by the nerve to that muscle.
29. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
• COMPRESSION, PALPATION AND CANNULATION OF
FEMORAL ARTERY
• The femoral artery can be compressed against the
femoral head at the midinguinal point to control the
bleeding in the distal part of the limb.
• The pulsations of the femoral artery are felt by the
clinicians in the femoral triangle just below the
midinguinal stage.
• Since the femoral artery is very superficial in the
femoral triangle, it’s the preferable artery for
cannulation and injecting dye to do processes like
angiography. It’s also the favored vessel for performing
the coronary angiography and angioplasty.
30.
31. Other vessels supplying the lower limb
• The obturator artery arises from the internal
iliac artery in the pelvic region. It descends
via the obturator canal to enter the medial
thigh, bifurcating into two branches:
–Anterior branch – This supplies the pectineus,
obturator externus, adductor muscles and
gracilis.
–Posterior branch – This supplies some of the
deep gluteal muscles.
32. Other vessels supplying the lower limb
• Gluteal arteries: The gluteal region is largely
supplied by the superior and inferior gluteal
arteries. These arteries also arise from the internal
iliac artery, entering the gluteal region via
the greater sciatic foramen.
• The superior gluteal artery leaves the foramen
above the piriformis muscle, the inferior below the
muscle. In addition to the gluteal muscles, the
inferior gluteal artery also contributes towards the
vasculature of the posterior thigh.
