Intermediate Adductor Magnus Quiz

Q1. Which structures provide much of the proximal origin of the adductor part of adductor magnus?

• Inferior pubic ramus and ischial ramus
• Anterior superior iliac spine and iliac crest
• Sacrum and coccyx
• Femoral neck and greater trochanter

Q2. Which femoral attachment receives much of the adductor part of adductor magnus?

• Lateral condyle and fibular head
• Greater trochanter only
• Patella and tibial tuberosity
• Linea aspera and medial supracondylar line

Q3. Which division of the obturator nerve typically supplies the adductor part?

• Anterior division exclusively
• Femoral branch
• Common fibular division
• Posterior division

Q4. Why is adductor magnus described as having dual innervation?

• It has separate sensory and autonomic nerves only
• It receives two branches only from the femoral nerve
• Its innervation changes during gait
• Its two parts receive motor fibers from different nerves

Q5. Which vessels pass through the adductor hiatus?

• Obturator artery and vein
• Profunda femoris artery and sciatic nerve
• Femoral artery and vein
• Great saphenous vein and femoral nerve

Q6. What happens to the femoral artery after it passes through the adductor hiatus?

• It becomes the anterior tibial artery immediately
• It becomes the profunda femoris artery
• It becomes the popliteal artery
• It becomes the obturator artery

Q7. Which arterial system provides important muscular branches to adductor magnus?

• Medial plantar artery
• Profunda femoris artery
• Anterior cerebral artery
• Dorsalis pedis artery

Q8. How does the hamstring part differ functionally from the adductor part?

• It dorsiflexes the ankle
• It abducts the thigh
• It is especially important for hip extension
• It primarily extends the knee

Q9. Which muscle lies superficial to portions of adductor magnus in the medial thigh?

• Tibialis anterior
• Extensor hallucis longus
• Adductor longus
• Fibularis longus

Q10. What is the relationship between the adductor canal and adductor magnus?

• Adductor magnus forms the lateral wall of the popliteal fossa
• Adductor magnus forms the roof of the femoral triangle
• Adductor magnus contributes to the posterior floor of the distal canal
• The canal passes through the ischial tuberosity
