Q

The cruciate anastomosis is clinically relevant because if there is a blockage between the femoral artery and external iliac artery, blood can reach the popliteal artery by means of the anastomosis. Please describe the rout of blood from the internal iliac to the popiteal.

A

The route of blood is through the internal iliac, to the inferior gluteal artery, to the first perforating branch of the deep femoral artery, to the lateral circumflex femoral artery, then to its descending branch into the superior lateral genicular artery and thus into the popliteal artery

A

pes anserinus (on the tibia)

101
Q

Sartorious muscle crosses the hip joint anteriorly, therefore what kind of movement does it do?

does flexion of hip joint, lateral rotation and flexes knee

102
Q

Three out of the four quadricept muscles DO NOT pass the hip joint, which one does?

A

rectus femoris

103
Q

What movement does the quadricep allow for?

A

rectus flexes thigh also

104
Q

The quadriceps come together and make the platella tendon which goes further down to make the (blank)and attaches to the tibial tuberosity

A

plateller ligament

105
Q

Where is the vastus intermedius?

Q

(Blank) is really a gluteal muscle by innervation but flexes thigh and is seen in anterior compartment.

A

tensor fascia lata

107
Q

Which muscle is lateral and which muscle is medial in the thigh, the sartorius or tensor fascia lata?

A

the sartorius is medial and the tensor fascia lata is lateral

108
Q

the iliacis muscle and the psoas muscle are powerful (blank) and are innervated by femoral nerves.

A

hip flexors

109
Q

The (blank) assists in flexing, weak abduction and lateral rotation of hip, and flexion of knee

A

sartorius muscle

110
Q

What does the tensor fascia lata muscle do and what is it innervated by?

A

it is a hip abductor

superior gluteal nerve

111
Q

What does the pectineus muscle do?

A

it causes hip adduction

hip flexion

112
Q

What innervates iliacus and psoas muscles?

A

femoral and obturator

Q

What nerve travels with the femoral artery and vein in the adductor canal and where does it come from?

A

the saphenous nerve

Is branch off the femoral nerve

114

116
Q

Once the femoral artery, vein and saphenous nerve travel through the femoral sheath where do they go?
