Anatomy summary Flashcards
what are the muscles in the superficial compartment of the gluteal region
gluteus maximus, medius and minimus and the tensor fascia latae
what is the role and innervation of the muscles in the superficial compartment of the gluteal region
o Extensors, abductors and medial rotators of the thigh
o Innervated by superior gluteal except glut max – inferior gluteal
what is tredenelenberg gait
abductor weakness due to superior gluteal nerve injury (glut med and min)
deep gluteal muscles
piriformis, obturator internus, gemelli, quadratus femoris
deep gluteal function and innervation
o Lateral rotators of the thigh and hip stabilisers
o Innervated by sacral plexus
how do nerves enter the gluteal region
via greater (pelvis) and lesser (perineum) sciatic foramen- formed by the sacrotuberous and sacropinous ligaments
path of the sciatic nerve
greater sciatic foramen, exits inferior to piriformis
most lateral structure exiting the sciatic foramen
passes down into the posterior thigh
separates in distal thigh into tibial and common fibular
what does the sciatic nerve supply
posterior thigh, all leg and foot muscle and most of the skin via tibial and common fibular branches
what is the pudenal nerve
S2-4
principle nerve to the perineum
what does the posterior cutaneous nerve supply
skin over the posterior thigh, popliteal fossa, lateral pernieum and upper medial thigh
what in the gluteal region does the sciatic nerve supply
nothing
what is the blood supply to the sciatic nerve
artery to sciatic nerve
what are the boundaries, floor and roof of the femoral triangle
superior – inguinal ligament
medially – lateral border of adductor longus
laterally – medial border of sartorius
floor – iliopsoas and pectineus
roof – deep fascia (fascia lata)
what are the components of the femoral triangle from lateral to medial

gastrocnemius,
soleus,
plantaris
innervation of post leg superficial and deep
all tibial nerve
actions and muscles of post leg deep group
flexors of toes & plantarflexors of ankle popliteus, flexor hallucis longus (toes), flexor digitorum longus (digits), tibialis posterior
movements at hip joint
flexion-extension
abduction-adduction
medial-lateral rotation
circumduction
what ligaments form the hip capsule
iliofemoral
pubofemoral
Ischiofemoral (ischium to femor)
blood supply to the hip joint
medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries
- usually from deep femoral artery
- give off retinacular arteries
artery to head of femur
-branch of obturator
extracapsular knee ligaments
lateral(fibular) collateral ligament
medial (tibial) collateral ligament
intra articular knee ligaments
anterior cruciate (ACL) (lateral to medial- hands in pockets) posterior cruciate (PCL) (medial to lateral)
boundaries of the popliteal fossa
superolaterally – biceps femoris
superomedially – semimembranosus
inferiorly – gastrocnemius
roof – popliteal fascia
contents of the popliteal fossa
lots of fat
terminal small saphenous vein
popliteal vessels
tibial and common fibular nerves
what is the calcaneal tendon
the achilles tendon
what muscles go into the calcaneal tendon
gastrocnemius and soleus
where does the calcaneal tendon attach
calcaneal tuberosity of the calcaneous
what is the ankle jerk reflex testing
S1 and 2
should cause plantar flexion
superficial lymphatics of the lower limb
follow saphenous veins
drain to superficial inguinal lymph nodes
then external iliac lymph nodes
deep lymphatics of the lower limb
follow deep veins
(popliteal lymph nodes)
deep inguinal lymph nodes
external iliac lymph nodes
where do external iliac nodes drain to
common iliac
then lumbar lymphatics
