deep to fascia lata medial to the femoral vein
Where does lymph from the deep inguinal nodes drain?
external iliac nodes
What is the superior border of the gluteal region?
iliac crests
What is the inferior border of the gluteal region?
gluteal fold
What marks the lateral extent of the gluteal region?
greater trochanter
Where od gluteus minimus and medius attach?
greater trochanter
Where does gluteus maxmimus attach?
iliotibial tract
What are the functions of the deep muscle layer of hte gluteal region?
external rotaion and stabilising the head of femur
What are the nerve roots of the posteriori cutaneous nerve of thigh?
S1-3
Where odes the sciatic nerve divide into the tibial and common fibular nerves?
most commonly inferior 1/3rd of thigh
What is the most medial muscle of hte hamstrings?
semitendinosus
What supplies the short head of biceps?
common fibular nerve
What is the function of the acetabular labrum?
increases the depth
What vein ends in the popliteal fossa?
small saphenous vein by passing thorugh the popliteal fascia to drain into the popliteal vein
What is the contents of hte popliteal fossa from superificial to deep?
tibial nerve–popliteal vein–popliteal artery
What nerve forms the medial sural cutneous nerve?
tibila nerve
what nerve forms the lateral sural cut. nerve?
common fibular
What muscles are found deep to gastroc in the popliteal fossa?
plantaris and popliteus
What are the deep muscles of the posteiror leg?
flexor hallucis longus; flexor digitorum longus and tibialis posteiorr
What passes posterior to the medial malleolus from anteiror to posteiror?
tibialis posterioir; flexor digitorum lognus; posteiror tibilar artery; tibial nerve; flexor hallucis longus
How does the anterior tibial artery reach the anterior comaprtment of the leg?
pierces the interosseous membrane
What type of joint is the midtarsal joint?
synovial
What supports the arches of the foot?
planta aponeurosis and plantar ligaments
What muscles support hte medial longitudinal arch?
tibialis anterior; fibularis longus and flexor hallucis longus
Where does tibialis anteiror and fibularis longus attach?
medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal
What does the dorsalis pedis artery branch into?
arcuate artery
What are the medial and lateral plantar arteries branches of?
posterior tibial artery
What part of hte dorsal venous arch gives rise to the great saphenous veins?
medial
What is the motor supply to the muscles of hte dorsum of hte foot?
deep fibular nerve
What movements does the talocalcaneal joint allow?
inversion and eversion
What is the function of hte lateral collateral ligament?
resists inversion
What is the most important ligament reifnorcing the hip joint?
iliofemoral ligament
Which is the weakest of the 3 ligaments supporting the hip?
ischiofemoral
What nerve emerges from psoas major?
genitofemoral nerve
How is the clavicle forme?
intramembranous ossification
What lies superior to the medial epicondyle of the femur?
adductor tubercle
Where does the great saphenous vein start?
anterior to medial malleolus
What type of activity makes spinal stenosis better?
cycling- flexion of the spine improves pain
