Anatomy Flashcards
Does the gluteal region have anterior and posterior?
No, just posterior
What muscles make up the superficial muscle group
gluteus maximimus, medius, minimus, tensor fascia latae
What do the superficial muscle group do?
extensors, abductors, medial rotators of thigh
what nerve innervates the superficial muscle group of gluteal region?
superior gluteal nerve (gluteus maximus is innervated by trendelenburgs gait (max is inferior)
what muscles are in the deep muscle group
piriformis, gemilli, obturator internis, quadratus femoris
What do the deep muscles of gluteal region act as
lateral rotators of thigh and hip stabilisers
what is the nerve innervation of the deep muscles
sacral plexus
Where do the nerves enter/ extit the perineum?
greater and lesser sciatic foramen
What ligaments help form the 2 sciatic foramen
sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligament
When injecting which quarter do you inject into
top left, lateral
Which 3 nerves enter/exit via gluteal region
sciatic, pudendal, posterior cutaneus nerve of the thigh
What is the level of the sciatic nerve and what does it innervate
L4-S3, posteriori thigh, all of leg, foot and skin
What is the level of the pudendal and what does it supply
S2-S4, perineum
What does the posterior cuteness nerve of the thigh do?
skin over posterior thigh, popliteal fossa, lat perineum and medial thigh
Does the sciatic nerve innervate the gluteal region?
Hell Nooooo
What does the sciatic nerve split into?
tibial an commmon fibular nerve
What are the boundaries of the femoral triangle
top- inguinal ligament, lateral- adducts longs, medial, sartorius, roof- deep fascia, floor- iliopsoas and pectineus
What procedure is used to release pressure built up in compartment syndrome
Fasciotomy
Name muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh
flexors- iliopsoas, pectineus and sartorius extensor- quadriceps femoris
What does the femoral nerve innervate
anterior compartment of the thigh. L2-L4 Psoas major innervates the iliopsoas also
Name medial compartments of the thigh
adductor longus, brevis, magnus, gracilis and obturator externus
What nerve innervates the medial compartment of the thigh
obturator nerve. (hamstring part of adductor magnus is supplied by tibial nerve)
What is in the posterior compartments of the thigh
semitendinous, semimembranous and biceps femoris
What supplies the posterior compartment of the thigh
sciatic nerve L5-S2. Short head of biceps femurs is supplied by common fibular division
