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

Tarsal bones? (foot)

A

(TIGER CUBS NEED MILC)

  • talus
  • calcaneus (heel bone)
  • navicular
  • three cuneiforms (medial, intermediate, and lateral).
  • cuboid
16
Q

Metatarsal bones?

A

The metatarsals are numbered 1 – 5 from the medial (great toe) side to the lateral (little toe) side.

AFTER METATARSALS:
The bones of the digits (toes) are phalanges (singular = phalanx).

17
Q

Muscle innervate of ulnar nerve in upper limb?

A
  • hand muscles (except thenar muscles + 2 lateral lumbricals)
  • forearm muscles (flexor carpi ulnaris + medial half of flexor digitorum profundus)
18
Q

What does median nerve innervate in upper limb?

A

MEAT LOAF

MEAT = median
L = 2 lateral lumbricals
OAF = thenar muscles (see individual names OAF)

19
Q

Thenar muscles + roles

A

THUMB = POLICIS

  • opponens pollicis (opposes thumb)
  • abductor pollicis brevis (abducts thumb)
  • flexor pollicis brevis (flexes thumb)
20
Q

Hypothenar muscles + roles

A

PINKY = DIGITI MINIMI

  • opponens digiti minimi
  • abductor digiti minimi
  • flexor digiti minimi
21
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
Q

Key branches of the internal iliac arteries are the:

A
  • 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
Q

Role of obturator artery?

A

Exits the pelvis to supply the lower limb.
(branch of internal iliac artery)

26
Q

Role of internal pudendal artery?

A

Exits the pelvis to supply the perineum.

27
Q

Nerve innervating anterior thigh?

A

Femoral nerve

28
Q

Nerve innervating medial thigh?

A

Obturator nerve

29
Q

Nerve innervating posterior thigh?

A

Sciatic nerve (branches = tibial nerve + common fibular branch)

30
Q

Roles + muscles of anterior thigh?

A

Flexor of hip, extensor of knee/leg

  • Quadriceps femoris – a group of four large muscles.
  • Sartorius
  • Pectineus
  • Iliopsoas (psoas major + iliacus)
31
Q

Roles + muscles of medial thigh?

A

Adducts the thigh

  • Adductor brevis
  • Adductor longus
  • ## Adductor magnus
  • Gracilis
  • Obturator externus
32
Q

Roles + muscles of posterior thigh?

A

Extensor of hip + flexor of the knee

    (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)
