3 - Zill - Anterior and Medial Thigh Flashcards
What muscles form the walls of the abdomen?
Rectus Abdominis, External Oblique
Inguinal Ligament - Attachment points
What passes under here and in what order?
Thicked fascia of external oblique muscle, ASIS to Pubic Tubercle
(lateral to medial) Femoral:
Nerve
Artery
Vein
Lymph
Iliotibial Tract (IT Band)
What does it receive insertion of?
Thickened later part of fascia lata; extends leg after muscles have extended knee.
Provides lateral stability when standing.
Origin: Ilium
Attachment: Lateral condyle of tibia
Tensor Fascia Lata and Gluteus Maximus insert to IT
Saphenous Opening
Oval shaped defect in deep fascia, allows pasage for Great Saphenous vein
Lateral Side is sharp = Falciform margin
Cutaneous Nerve for Gluteal Region
Posterior Cutaneous Nerve of Thigh
Cutaneous nerve for lateral portion of thigh?
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve of Thigh
Major Action / Nerve For:
Anterior Compartment
Posterior Compartment
Medial Compartment
Lateral Compartment
Anterior: Knee Extension / Femoral Nerve
Posterior: Knee Flexion / Tibial part of Sciatic Nerve
Medial: Hip ADductors / Obturator Nerve
Lateral: Hip ABductors / Sup. and Inf. Gluteal Nerve
Four Muscles of Quadriceps
Which muscle crosses both hip and knee joints?
Common attachment?
Rectus Femoris (middle, on-top)
Vastus Lateralis (lateral)
Vastus Medialis (medial)
Vastus Intermedius (midd, bottom)
All attach to quadriceps tendon
What is the order of structures from the quads to the patella to tibia?
Quad Muscles
Quadriceps Tendon
Patella
Patellar Tendon
Tibia
What is the mechanical function of the patella?
Increase mechanical advantag of the quadriceps by increasing angle of insertion
What nerves does a patellar tendon reflex test?
L2
L3
L4
(Femoral Nerve)
Hip Pointer
Contusion of muscles at Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS)
Sartorius actions

ASIS to tibia via Pes Anserinus
Pes Anserinis
Common tendon formed from:
Sartorius
Gracilis
Semitendinosus
Ilippsoas
Thigh flexor - composed of Iliacus and Psoas
Origin: ilium (iliacus), T12-L5 (psoas)
Attachment: Femur
Pectineus
Origin: Pubis
Attachment: Femur
Action: Flex hip
