Anatomy Quiz 2 - Sheet1 Flashcards
Fibula: 4 items
head, apex, neck, lateral malleolus
Tibia: 4 items
head, apex, neck, lateral malleolus
Located distal and medial (just above knee). The femoral artery passes through this and becomes the popliteal artery
adductor hiatus
Pelvis: 10 items! whew!
iliac crest, anterior and posterior superior iliac spines, ischial spine, greater and lesser sciatic notches, ischial tuberosity, acetabulum, sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments
All nerves and arteries (veins too) exit the pelvis inferior to the piriformis muscle except what?
superior gluteal neurovascular bundle
Tarsal bones:
“Tiger Cubs Need MILC” In order (right foot, superior to inferior, medial to lateral): Talus, Calcaneus, Navicular, [Cuboid], Medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, Metatarsals, Phalanges (proximal, middle, distal)
Deltoid ligament (Medial ligament of the ankle)
The Deltoid (medial) ligament is made up of 4 parts:
- Anterior tibiotalar
- Tibionavcular
- Tibiocalcaneal
- Posterior tibiotalar
a diamond shaped depression posterior to the knee joint; contains 1. Popliteal artery and vein (having traversed the adductor magnus muscle) 2. Common Fibular and Tibial nerves (divisions of sciatic nerve) 3. Fat and lymph nodes
Popliteal fossa
Lateral head and medial head;
innervated by tibial nerve;
popliteal artery
Gastrocnemius muscle
originates on the lateral side of the dorsal venous network of the foot; passes behind the lateral malleolus up the back of the leg usually to empty into the popliteal vein. Venous return generally flows from superficial veins toward deep veins.
Small saphenous vein
located in popliteal fossa
Popliteal vein
accompanies the small saphenous vein and is formed by the union of branches from tibial and common fibular nerve. Can be variation
Sural nerve
division of sciatic nerve;
becomes superficial fibular and deep fibular nerve
Common fibular (peroneal) nerve
enters the posterior compartment of the leg between the heads of the gastrocnemius. It passes through a hiatus in the soleus to gain access to the deep group of muscles deep to the transverse crural intermuscular septum. The tibial nerve divides into medial and lateral plantar nerves as it enters the sole of the foot
Tibial nerve
In the popliteal fossa together with the common fibular and tibial nerves
Popliteal artery and vein
surrounds the muscular compartments of the leg.
Deep fascia of the leg (crural fascia)
attaches the gastrocnemeous muscle to the calcaneus
Calcaneal tendon
just deep to the gastrocnemeous muscle, tibial nerve, posterior tibia artery, fibular artery, popliteal artery
Soleus muscle
Lateral condyle of femur to calcaneous tendon. Absent in 5-10% of people. Analogous to palmaris longus. Used in tendon reconstructive surgery.
Tibial nerve
posterior tibia artery, fibular artery, popliteal artery
Plantaris muscle
originates at Lateral Femoral Condyle and inserts in posterior tibia proximally.
tibial nerve
popliteal artery
Popliteus muscle
separates the deep and superficial compartments of the leg
Transverse intermuscular septum
inserts on the base of the distal phalanges of lateral four digits (just like flexor digitorum longus in the forearm);
**tibial nerve **
posterior tibial artery
remember dick, tom, and harry (medial to lateral)
Flexor digitorum longus muscle
inserts into tarsal bones and base of metatarsals; runs along the interosseus membrane;
tibial nerve
fibular artery
Tibialis posterior muscle
inserts on distal phalanx of great toe.
**tibial nerve **
fibular artery
Flexor halluces longus muscle
Branch just below the popliteal fossa. Posterior looks larger on netter.
Anterior and posterior tibial artery and vein
Branches off the posterior tibial artery just after the branch of the posterior and anterior tibial artery
Fibular (peroneal) artery
extends from the medial malleolus to the calcaneus; the tendons of the deep flexor muscles (Tom, Dick and Harry) surrounded by their synovial sheaths, tibial nerve and posterior tibial artery pass deep to it behind the medial malleolus
Flexor retinaculum
Inferior gluteal nerve innervates it; inferior gluteal artery
Gluteus maximus muscle
a wedge-shaped, fat filled area on either side of the rectum. Allows distention of anal canal during defecation
Ischioanal (ischiorectal) fossa
splits to enclose the belly of the muscle, tensor fasciae latae. This muscle pulls on the thickened portion of the fascia lata overlying the vastus lateralis
Iliotibial tract
a tough fascia which forms a sleeve around the muscles of the thigh
Fascia lata
this bursa looks to be just superior to the greater trochanter
Trochanteric bursa
supplies and drains gluteus maximus
a branch of the internal iliac artery in the pelvis
Inferior gluteal artery and vein
