Random information on the term “Upper leg”:
The great saphenous vein (GSV, alternately “long saphenous vein”) is a large, subcutaneous, superficial vein of the leg. It is the longest vein in the body, running along the length of the lower limb.
The terms “saphaina” (Greek, meaning “manifest”, “to be clearly seen”) and “safoon” (Hebrew, “שָׂפוּן” meaning “hidden/covered”) as well as “safin” (Arabic, “صَافِن” meaning “deep/embedded”) have been claimed as the origin for the word “saphenous”.
The great saphenous vein originates from where the dorsal vein of the big toe (the Hallux) merges with the dorsal venous arch of the foot. After passing in front of the medial malleolus (where it often can be visualized and palpated), it runs up the medial side of the leg. At the knee, it runs over the posterior border of the medial epicondyle of the femur bone. In the proximal anterior thigh 3-4 centimeters inferolateral to the pubic tubercle, the great saphenous vein dives down deep through the cribriform fascia of the saphenous opening to join the femoral vein. It forms an arch, the saphenous arch, to join the common femoral vein in the region of the femoral triangle at the sapheno-femoral junction.[citation needed]
Random information on the term “Thigh”:
The medial compartment of thigh is one of the fascial compartments of the thigh and contains the hip adductor muscles and the gracilis muscle.
The obturator nerve is the primary nerve supplying this compartment.
The muscles in the compartment are:
The obturator externus muscle is sometimes considered part of this group, and sometimes excluded. (Spatially, it is in this location, but functionally, it is more similar to the other lateral rotator group muscles).
The pectineus is sometimes included in this group, and sometimes excluded. (It has the same function as the others in this group, but different innervation – namely, the femoral nerve.)
