All are true about femoral triangle, EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: Floor is formed by adductor longus
Description: The femoral triangle is a depressed area of the thigh lying distal to the inguinal fold. Its apex is distal, its limits are the medial margin of saorius laterally, the medial margin of adductor longus medially and the inguinal ligament proximally (the base). Its floor is provided laterally by iliacus and psoas major, medially by pectineus and adductor longus. The femoral vessels, passing from midbase to apex, are in the deepest pa of the triangle. Lateral to the aery the femoral nerve divides. The triangle also contains fat and lymph nodes. Ref: Gray's anatomy 40th edition, Chapter 111
