Femoral triangle

 The femoral triangle is a region in the upper thigh where important structures pass through. It's bound by the inguinal ligament superiorly, the adductor longus muscle laterally, and the sartorius muscle medially. Key contents within this triangular area include the femoral nerve, artery, vein, lymph nodes, and occasionally the deep inguinal lymph nodes. These structures are crucial for the blood supply, nerve innervation, and lymphatic drainage of the lower limb.

What is secondary osmosis

  Secondary osmosis    Secondary osmosis , also known as reverse osmosis (RO), is a process that involves the movement of solvent molecules (typically water) across a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher solute concentration to a region of lower solute concentration. Unlike regular osmosis, where solvent moves from a low solute concentration to high, reverse osmosis uses external pressure to overcome the natural osmotic pressure, forcing water through the membrane against the concentration gradient. This process is widely used in water purification, desalination, and various industrial processes to produce purified water by removing impurities and dissolved solids.
