Q

what are the medial anterior ankle extensor muscles of the leg?

A

tibialis anterior
extensor hallucis longus
extensor digitorum longus

22
Q

tibialis anterior muscle?

A

attaches onto medial metatarsal superiorly
inversion at the subtalar joint

23
Q

extensor hallicus longus?

A

inversion at the subtalar joint

24
Q

extensor digitorum longus muscle?

A

goes to lateral digits
greater line of pull for eversion

25
Q

what are the lateral (fibular) group of muscle?

A

fibulas longus
fibulas brevis
eversion at the subtalar joint
plantar flexion at the true ankle joint

26
Q

fibulas longus muscle?

A

most superficial
tendon crosses over and attaches medially

27
Q

what are the 3 arches of the foot?

A

medial longitudinal arch
lateral longitudinal arch
transverse arch

28
Q

medial longitudinal arch?

A

made up of medial cuneiform and intermediate
5th metatarsal and calcaneusplantar aponeurosis important
dynamic support comes from muscles and tendons

29
Q

lateral longitudinal arch?

A

cuboid and lateral cuneiform
plantar aponeurosis important
dynamic support comes from muscles and tendons

30
Q

transverse arch?

A

tendon of tibialis posterior attaches inferiorly
fibulas longus on lateral side

31
Q

what gives the dynamic support to the foot arch?

A

tibialis posterior
tibialis anterior
flexor hallicus longus
fibulas longus
intrinsic plantar muscles

32
Q

what gives the passive support to the foot arch?

A

plantar aponeurosis

33
Q

what is the spring ligament

A

plantar calcineal ligament
pivotal in maintaining medial arch
damage can cause flat footedness

34
Q

what are the 2 main superficial veins?

A

lesser saphenous vein
greater saphenous vein

35
Q

where does lesser saphenous vein drain to?

A

drains into the popliteal vein

36
Q

where does greater saphenous vein drainage to?

A

drains into the femoral vein

37
Q

what does the popliteal artery change to?

A

splits into
posterior tibial artery
anterior tibial

38
Q

what does the anterior tibial change into as it reaches the foot?

A

dorsalis pedis - superficial

39
Q

what does the posterior tibial artery split into?

A

plantar medial (bigger) and lateral

40
Q

what are the anastomoses around the knee?

A

5 branches come off

41
Q

where is the great saphenous vein?

A

medial
starts in foot
travels all the way up

42
Q

what is the artery in the foot that rounds along the tarsals?

A

accurate artery

43
Q

where is the small saphenous vein?

A

posterior and laterally
only travels to popliteal

44
Q

what are the 3 main nerves for there free portion of the limb?

A

-femoral (anterior and thigh)
-sciatic (back of the thigh +leg+foot)
-obturator (medial group at the thigh, i.e adductors)

45
Q

what supplies the nerve supply for the lower limb?

A

lumbar and sacral plexus

46
Q

what does the common fibular nerve split into?
