20
Q

Femoral nerve…

A
  • Root value: L2,3,4
  • Descends lateral to Psoas major then enters thigh behind the midpoint of the inguinal ligament
  • Immediately divides into branches
  • Longest branch is the Saphenous nerve
21
Q

Obturator nerve…

A
  • Root value: L2,3,4
  • Passes through the pelvic cavity and enters the thigh through the obturator foramen
  • Immediately divides into branches
22
Q

Sciatic nerve…

A
  • Root value: L4,5,S1,2,3
  • Leaves pelvis through greater sciatic foramen, inferior to piriformis
  • Passes through gluteal region and enters posterior compartment of thigh and runs inferiorly under the hamstrings
  • Divides into tibial & common peroneal nerves just above the knee
23
Q

Sartorius origin and insertion…

A

O- anterior superior iliac spine

I- medial surface of the upper part of the shaft of the tibia

24
Q

How many muscles bellies does the quadriceps femoris have?

A

4- rectus femoris crosses knee and hip, vasti cross only knee

25
Q

Trapezius origin and insertion…

A

O- skull, scapula, spinous processes

I- lateral clavicle, spine of scapula

26
Q

Erector spinae group from most medial to distal…

A

spinalis, longissimus, iliocostalis

27
Q

Transversospinalis group (3 points)…

A
  • attaches from transverse processes inferiorly to spinous processes superiorly (i.e. oblique orientation)
  • deep to erector spinae
  • consists of 3 parts: semispinalis, multifidus, rotatores
28
Q

Semispinalis (3 points)…

A
  • superficial layer of transversospinalis- not present in lumbar region
  • muscle fibres span many (5-7) vertebral segments
  • extends & contralaterally rotates trunk, neck, head
29
Q

Multifidus (5 points)…

A
  • intermediate layer of transversospinalis
  • muscle fibres span a few (2-5) vertebral segments
  • found along the length of the whole vertebral column
  • most inferior fibres attach to the sacrum
  • longer fibres extend, contralaterally rotate & ipsilaterally laterally flex the trunk & neck
30
Q

Rotatores (4 points)…

A
  • deepest layer of transversospinalis
  • muscle fibres span 1 vertebral segment
  • best developed in the thoracic region
  • often absent in cervical & lumbar regions
31
Q

Trunk rotation to the left…

A
  • Contralateral rotation (right)- Multifidus, Semispinalis, External oblique
  • Ipsilateral rotation (left)- Internal oblique
32
Q

Distinguishing features of cervical vertebrae…

A

transverse foramen, bifid spinous process, large heart shaped vertebral foramen

33
Q

Distinguishing features of thoracic vertebrae…

A

costal facets, demi facets, circular vertebral foramen, big/thick transverse process

34
Q

Distinguishing features of lumbar vertebrae…

A

largest vertebral body, large/thick spinous process

35
Q

Orientation of facets of vertebrae…

A

cervical- horizontal
thoracic- vertical, anterior to posterior
lumbar- vertical, medial to lateral

36
Q

Interbody joint- the intervertebral disc…

A
  • modified fibrocartilaginous joint
  • symphysis
  • Components: cartilage end plate, annulus fibrosis, nucleus pulposus
37
Q

What are the components of the intervertebral disc?

A

cartilage end plate, annulus fibrosis, nucleus pulposis

38
Q

Cartilage end plate functions…

A
  • transmits weight to adjacent vertebral body
  • confines nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosis
  • role in securing nutrition for disc
39
Q

annulus fibrosis functions…

A
  • retain the nucleus pulposus

- allow and limit movement

40
Q

nucleus pulposis functions…

A
  • shock absorber

- force distributor

41
Q

Functions of interbody joint…

A

determine movement

  • Oblique orientation of annulus fibres means that shear movements in every direction are limited
  • Length of annulus fibres allows rocking movements
42
Q

Zygapophyseal joint- classification, articular surfaces, articular capsule

A
  • synovial, multiaxial, plane
  • superior and inferior articular facets
  • loose but reinforced by: ligamentum flavum, multifidus
43
Q

Functions of Z joint…

A
  • to determine the direction of vertebral column movement
  • to determine the range of vertebral column movement
  • to bear weight (67% in cervical region, 15% in lumbar region)
