Correct answer: E — Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and pubic tubercle
The inguinal ligament (Poupart's ligament) is the thickened inferior border of the external oblique aponeurosis. It extends from the ASIS to the pubic tubercle. It forms the superior boundary of the femoral triangle. The femoral vessels and nerve pass beneath it. The midinguinal point (midpoint between ASIS and pubic symphysis) overlies the femoral artery.
