Femoral Ring

The Femoral Ring is an anatomical structure that is part of the Femoral Canal. It is located in the upper thigh and is a significant part of the human anatomy. The Femoral Ring is the base of the Femoral Canal and is bordered by several other anatomical structures.

Etymology

The term "Femoral" is derived from the Latin word "femur", which means thigh. The term "Ring" is used to describe the circular shape of this anatomical structure.

Anatomy

The Femoral Ring is located at the base of the Femoral Canal. It is bordered anteriorly by the Inguinal Ligament, posteriorly by the Pectineal Ligament, and medially by the Lacunar Ligament. The Femoral Ring is covered by the Septum of the Femoral Canal.

Clinical Significance

The Femoral Ring is clinically significant as it is the site where Femoral Hernias occur. A Femoral Hernia is a type of hernia that pushes through the Femoral Ring into the Femoral Canal. This can cause severe pain and discomfort and may require surgical intervention.
