Identify and clean the adductor magnus muscle. (G 6.25;N 480;Gl 31.11D)

  1. Trace the "hamstring portion" of the adductor magnus to its distal attachment (adductor tubercle).
  2. Return to the femoral artery and vein. Trace these vessels distally through the adductor (subsartorial) canal until they pass from anterior to posterior through the adductor hiatus. The adductor hiatus is directly deep to the distal attachment of the adductor magnus. Attempt to identify the saphenous nerve  as it accompanies the femoral artery in the adductor canal. The saphenous nerve does not pass through the adductor hiatus.
