anterior and medial thigh Flashcards
What nerve innervates muscle in the anterior thigh
femoral nerve
what is the fasica lata
deep fasica of the tigh
where does the fascia lata originate from
the anterior superior iliac spine
where does the fasica lata insert
into the tibia
where does the ticker part of the fasica lata lie
on the superiorlateral thigh
where does the fasica lata get thinner
towards the pelvis and posteriorly and anteriorly
where do femoral hernias take place
though the femoral canal
what is the name of the muscle that is attached to the fasica lata
tensor fasica lata
what nerve innervates the tensor fasica lata muscle
superior gluteal nerve
where does the tensor fasica lata originate from
the anterior superior iliac spine
what is the tensor fasica lata attach to
the deep surface of the fasica lata
what is the job of the tensor fasica lata
tenses the fasica lata
the fasica lata splits and goes over which muscle?
sartorius
where does the satorius muscle originate from
the anterior superior iliac spine
what is the name of the most superficial muscle if the thigh
sartorius
what is the name of the muscle that runs across the thigh
satorius muscle
where does the satorius muscle attach
to the tibia
what side of the knee does the satorius muscle pass down
medial side
what are the names of the 3 vastus muslces
vastus intermedious
vastus laterous
vastus medialous
what type of arrangement does the rectus femris have
bi pennate arrangement
how many heads does the rectus femris have
2
what are the 2 heads of rectus femoris
superior to the actabulum and 2nd head is lateral to it
what is the acetabulum
the socket where the head of the femoral bone attaches
where does the rectus femoris insert
into the patella
what muscle lies lateral to the rectus femoris
vastus laterus
what muscles lies medial to the rectus femoris
vastus mediolus
what muscle lies deep to the rectus femoris
vastus indermediaus
what are the functions of the vastus muscles
extend the knee and stabilise the patella
where do the 3 vastus muscle originate from
the femur
what are the medial thigh muscles also known as
the hip adductors
what are the medial thigh muscles innervated by
the obturator nerve
what is the arterial supply to the hip adductors
obturator artery
what bone does no lie in a straight line to the to the hip, knee and ankle
the femur
what consequence can happen to the patella as a result of contraction of the quadrecept
dislocation of the patella
how can dislocation of the patella be actively counteracted
medial fibres of vastus medialis keep the patella in the central groove of the femur
how can dislocation of the patella be passively counteracted
lateral groove of the epicondyle is more prominant than the medial epicondyle = greater mechanical resistance
