The patellar region is DISTAL to the femoral region.
What are the medial muscles of the femoral region?
The femoral region is the area of the body that runs along the hip to the knee. Basically, it is the whole thigh area of your leg.
The patellar region is located on the front of the knee, encompassing the area around the kneecap (patella). It is a common site for injuries and is important for functions such as walking, running, and jumping.
The pulse site in the groin area is the femoral artery. You can palpate this just superior to the anterior iliac crest.

In order to provoke the patellar reflex one must strike the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer (and only a tendon hammer, striking with an ordinary hammer is ill-advised). In other words, strike the region immediately below the patella.

The nerves that arise from the lumbar plexus are femoral, obturator, lateral femoral cutaneous, genitofemoral, illoinguinal and illohypogastric nerve. As part of lumbosacral plexus, it is the nervous plexus that is found in the lumbar region.
The femoral nerve lies outside the femoral triangle because it originates from the lumbar plexus and travels deep to the inguinal ligament before entering the thigh. This positioning allows it to provide motor and sensory innervation to the anterior compartment of the thigh, while the femoral triangle primarily contains the femoral artery, vein, and lymphatics. The anatomical separation helps protect the nerve from potential injury during surgical procedures or trauma in the region.
