Femoral artery is such a fascinating blood vessel.
It goes through so much in its course, it’s worth discussing it here.
So let’s highlight this one tomorrow:

Back to the Quads: A Revisiting of the Anterior Thigh Muscles
Before, we only understood the Quads as the hydra (4 heads sharing a common attachment at the knee).

Are you ready?

So there you have it, the anterior muscles in the thigh that is supplied by Femoral nerve,
except the TFL which is supplied by the Superior Gluteal nerve (in the end, it still prefers the peachy side).

I just had a rundown about the anterior hip muscle… welp, might need an update once it’s official. :)
Two 19-year-old Tulane University sophomores discovered a previously unknown muscle attachment deep in the human hip during a routine cadaver lab session — a find so unusual that even their professor, a co-editor-in-chief of Gray's Anatomy, couldn't identify it.
Dominic Roy and Cooper Bruce had been assigned to measure the fusion point between two well-known hip muscles when Roy spotted something unfamiliar on the other side of the iliac fascia.
After an exhaustive search through medical literature and textbooks turned up nothing, the team confirmed it was a new anatomical discovery. The findings were recently published in the journal Clinical Anatomy.

Today’s Anatomy Rundown: Anterior Hip Muscles
Side note before I proceed: Side note before I proceed: Unlike their peachy posterior counterparts, these muscles don’t get enough hype.
So it’s time we give them some love.
Side note: Psoas muscles are clinically significant for doctors examining a patient with suspected appendicitis.
Known as Psoas sign, examiner raises right leg, and a positive result is shown if right lower quadrant pain manifests upon adding resistance to passive raising.
