9.Contents of femoral canal

1.Assertion: Femoral shaft fractures can injure the profunda femoris artery

• Reason: The profunda femoris artery is in close proximity to the femoral shaft
• a) Both A and R are true, and R is the reason for A
• b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the reason for A
• c) A is correct but R is incorrect
• d) A is incorrect but R is correct

2.Assertion: Pain from the ovary may be referred to the skin on the medial side of the thigh

• Reason: The obturator nerve supplies the parietal peritoneum adjacent to the ovary
• a) Both A and R are true, and R is the reason for A
• b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the reason for A
• c) A is correct but R is incorrect
• d) A is incorrect but R is correct

• 4) Obturator artery
• a) 1, 3, 4
• b) 2, 3, 4
• c) 2,
• d) 1, 2, 3

4.A: The long head of biceps femoris is grouped under hamstrings. R: Long head of Biceps femoris originates from ischial tuberosity, inserted into fibula and is innervated by tibial component of sciatic nerve

• a) Both A and R are true, and R is the reason for A
• b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the reason for A
• c) A is correct but R is incorrect
• d) A is incorrect but R is correct
