Q

Muscle that unlocks the knee for flexion?

A

A small muscle called popliteus is responsible for ‘unlocking’ the knee by rotating the femur back again to permit flexion.

Q

Ligaments of the knee?

A

1) COLLATERAL LIGAMENTS
- medial collateral => connects femur to tibia
- lateral collateral => connects femur to fibula

2) CRUCIATE LIGAMENTS
- anterior (ACL) ⇒ prevents tibia moving anteriorly relative to the femur.
- posterior (PCL) ⇒ prevents the tibia moving posteriorly relative to the femur.

Q

Two types of interosseus muscles + roles?

A
  • dorsal interossei (back of hand) - abduct
  • palmar interossei (palm of hand) - adduct

PAD + DAB (palmar = adduct / dorsal = abduct)

22
Q

Connective tissue band around carpal tunnel (in wrist)?

A

Flexor retinaculum

23
Q

Arterial supply to pelvis?

A

Left and right INTERNAL ILIAC arteries.

24
Key branches of the internal iliac arteries are the:
- **Vesical** arteries - supply the bladder in both sexes, and the prostate and seminal vesicles in males. - **Uterine and vaginal** arteries in females. - **Middle rectal** artery - supplies the rectum. - **Internal pudendal** artery - exits the pelvis to supply the perineum. - Superior and inferior **gluteal arteries** exit the pelvis to supply the **gluteal** region. - **Obturator** artery – exits the pelvis to supply the **lower limb**.
25
Role of obturator artery?
Exits the pelvis to supply the lower limb. (branch of internal iliac artery)
26
Role of internal pudendal artery?
Exits the pelvis to supply the perineum.
27
Nerve innervating anterior thigh?
Femoral nerve
28
Nerve innervating medial thigh?
Obturator nerve
29
Nerve innervating posterior thigh?
Sciatic nerve (branches = tibial nerve + common fibular branch)
30
Roles + muscles of anterior thigh?
Flexor of hip, extensor of knee/leg - Quadriceps femoris – a group of four large muscles. - Sartorius - Pectineus - Iliopsoas (psoas major + iliacus)
31
Roles + muscles of medial thigh?
Adducts the thigh - Adductor brevis - Adductor longus - Adductor magnus ----------------------------- - Gracilis - Obturator externus
32
Roles + muscles of posterior thigh?
Extensor of hip + flexor of the knee Three of these muscles (semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and the long head of biceps femoris) are referred to as the ‘hamstrings’ ------------------------------------ - Semimembranosus & semitendinosus (tibial nerve branch of sciatic nerve) - Biceps femoris (common fibular branch of sciatic nerve) - Hamstring part of adductor magnus (tibial nerve branch of sciatic nerve)
33
Lumbosacral plexus - lumbar vs sacral plexus?
LUMBAR PLEXUS: - Pudendal nerve - Sciatic nerve (branches = tibial nerve + common fibular nerve) SACRAL PLEXUS: - Femoral nerve - Obtruator nerve
34
Lumbar plexus?
- Obturator nerve - Femoral nerve (other nerves too, but not as important?) => thigh adduction + hip flexor + knee/leg extension
35
Sacral plexus?
SP = S + P Sciatic nerve Pudendal nerve => gluteal region + posterior thigh + all of lower leg
36
Arterial supply of the duodenum?
First half = coeliac trunk (gastroduodenal branches from the common hepatic artery) Second half = superior mesenteric artery
36
What are the three main arteries supplying the gut?
FOREGUT = COELIAC TRUNK MIDGUT = superior mesenteric artery HINDGUT = inferior mesenteric artery
37
What are the 3 branches of the coeliac trunk?
LEFT GASTRIC ARTERY SPLENIC ARTERY COMMON HEPATIC ARTERY
38
What does the splenic artery supply?
Spleen Stomach (fungus - near spleen end) Pancreas
39
What does the left gastric artery supply?
Distal oesophagus Stomach (lesser curvature)
40
What does the common hepatic artery supply?
Gastroduodenal branch = stomach + duodenum Proper hepatic branch = liver
41

42
What level of the spinal cord is the superior mesenteric artery?
L1

What level of the spinal cord is the inferior mesenteric artery?
L3
44
What level of the spinal cord does the abdominal aorta end?
L4 (where it splits into the R + L iliac arteries)
45
What separates the frontal and parietal lobes?
Central sulcus
46
What separates the frontal and temporal lobes?
Sylvian fissure
47
What separates the parietal and occipital lobes?
Parieto-occipital sulcus
48
Key areas and functions of the frontal lobe of the brain?
- Prefrontal cortex (decision making and emotion) - Motor cortex (primary motor cortex + - Broca's area - speech production (expressive aphasia)
49
Key areas and functions of the parietal lobe of the brain?
- Primary somatosensory cortex (receives sensory information from all sensory receptors that provide information related to temperature, pain (spinothalamic pathway), vibration, proprioception and fine touch (dorsal column pathway)
50
Key areas and functions of the occipital lobe of the brain?
- Primary visual cortex (visual perception) - Visual association cortex (interprets visual images) => color determination, facial recognition, depth perception, visuospatial processing and even plays a role in memory formation
51
Key areas and functions of the temporal lobe of the brain?
- Hearing - Memory - Speech comprehension - Wernicke's area - receptive aphasia
52
Key areas and functions of the insular lobe of the brain?
Deep within the lateral sulcus => taste sensation, visceral sensation, pain sensation, and vestibular function.
