Anatomy- Gluteal Region Flashcards
what muscles make up the superficial muscle group of the gluteal region
gluteus maximus
gluteus medius
gluteus minimus
tensor tascia latae
what nerves innervate the glutes
gluteal nerves
- gluteus maximus= inferior glutal
- all others= superior gluteal
what is compartment syndrome
increased pressure caused by swelling of tissue or increase in fluid (bleeding)- can be acute or chronic
how do you relive pressure in compartment syndrome
fasciotomy
where does the sciatic nerve originate from
L4-S3
where does the sciatic nerve usually exit from
inferior to prirformis
what is its usual position in the sciatic foramen
most lateral thing in it
what is the atery of the sciatic nerve called
artery to sciatic nerve (lol)
what does the sciatic nerve separate into in the distal thigh
tibial (larger, medial) and common fibular nerve (smaller, lateral)
what do the superficial lymphatics of the lower limb follow and then drain to
follow saphenous veins
drain to superficial inguinal lymph nodes then external iliac lymph nodes
what do the deep lymphatics of the lower limb follow and then drain to
follow deep veins
drain to popliteal lymph nodes, deep inguinal LN ans then external iliac LN
how do the external LN drain to the common iliac LN
lumbar lymphatics
where does the femoral nerve come from
L2,3,4
what does the femoral nerve supply
quadriceps femoris, sartorius, iliacus and pectineus
