Thigh nerve plexus, artwork C016 / 6805

Thigh nerve plexus. Artwork of the nerves (yellow), arteries (red), veins (blue), and muscles (brown) of the upper leg (thigh). The nerves are the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, the femoral nerve, the obturator nerve and its anterior and posterior branches, the saphenous nerve, and the vastus lateralis nerve. These are the nerves targeted in a mid-femoral sciatic nerve block. The arteries are the femoral artery and the lateral and medial branches of the circumflex femoral artery. The veins are the femoral vein and the deep vein of the thigh. This is the right thigh. For the left thigh, see C016/6804

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Thigh Nerve Plexus" offers a detailed and visually stunning representation of the intricate network of nerves, arteries, veins, and muscles that make up the upper leg. Against a clean white background, the vibrant colors highlight each element with precision. The focal point of this print is the thigh's nerve plexus. The yellow nerves elegantly intertwine throughout the composition, showcasing key components such as the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, femoral nerve, obturator nerve (with its anterior and posterior branches), saphenous nerve, and vastus lateralis nerve. These specific nerves are targeted in mid-femoral sciatic nerve block procedures. Accompanying these neural pathways are prominent red arteries - namely the femoral artery and lateral/medial branches of the circumflex femoral artery. Blue veins like the femoral vein and deep vein of the thigh complement their arterial counterparts. The brown hues represent various muscles found within this region: vastus lateralis muscle, vastus medialis muscle, sartorius muscle, adductor brevis muscle, adductor longus muscle, adductor magnus muscle, pectineus muscle, gracilis muscle, and rectus femoris muscle. Together they contribute to both strength and mobility in our legs. This artwork serves as an invaluable resource for anatomical study or medical research purposes. Its meticulous attention to detail allows for a comprehensive understanding of this complex area within our bodies – providing insight into healthy anatomy while also highlighting potential areas for further exploration in neurology or biology.
