Exam 2 review Flashcards
Which muscle is presumably necessary to “unlock” the knee from its extended position?
popliteus
List the contents of the popliteal fossa (in order from deep to more superficial).
Popliteal artery
Popliteal vein
Tibial nerve
Name the nerve supply to each compartment of the thigh.
Anterior compartment:
–femoral nerve (L2-4)
Medial compartment:
- Obturator nerve
- Tibial nerve (To hamstring portion of adductor magnus)
Posterior compartment:
- Common peroneal nerve (to biceps femoris brevis)
- Tibial nerve
Muscles in anterior compartment of thigh
Iliopsoas
Sartorius
Pectineus
Quadriceps
1. Rectus femoris 2. Vastus lateralis 3. Vastus intermedius 4. Vastus medialis
muscles in medial compartment of thigh
i. Gracilis
ii. Adductor longus
iii. Adductor brevis
iv. Adductor magnus
v. Obturator externus
muscles in posterior compartment of thigh
i. Hamstrings
1. Biceps femoris
a. Long head and short head
2. Semimembranosus
3. Semitendinosus
ii. Adductor Hiatus
blood supply to anterior compartment of thigh
femoral artery
blood supply to medial compartment of thigh
obturator artery (branch of internal iliac artery)
blood supply to Posterior compartment of thigh
perforating arteries (from profunda brachii)
basic function of muscles in anterior compartment of the thigh
hip flexion and knee extension
basic function of muscles in medial compartment of the thigh
adduction
basic function of muscles in posterior compartment of the thigh
hip extension, knee flexion
name nerve supply to the superficial posterior compartment of the leg
i. Tibial nerve
1. Divides into medial and lateral plantar nerves inferior and posterior to medial malleolus
2. Gives off medial sural cutaneous nerve
3. Joins with communicating branch peroneal (fibular) nerve to form
a. Sural nerve: cutaneous
name nerve supply to the deep posterior compartment of the leg
tibial nerve
name nerve supply to the lateral compartment of the leg
i .Superficial Peroneal (fibular) nerve
1. Deep to peroneus longus 2. Inserts on lateral tuberosity
name the nerve supply to the anterior compartment of the leg
deep peroneal (fibular) nerve
Name the basic functions of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg
Leg/foot stabilization
Name the basic functions of the deep posterior compartment of the leg
- plantar flexion
- foot inversion
- helps maintain medial longitudinal arches
Name the basic functions of the anterior compartment of the leg
- toe extension
- ankle dorsiflexion
Name the basic functions of the lateral compartment of the leg
- plantar flexion
toe eversion - maintain transverse and longitudinal arches of the foot
The lateral sural cutaneous nerve is a branch of which nerve?
From common peroneal (fibular) nerve
Which ligament is the primary support for the medial longitudinal arch of the foot?
Calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament
Name the components of foot inversion and of foot eversion.
a. Talocalcaneal (subtalar) joint I. Inversion: 1. Adduction (vertical axis) 2. Supination (longitudinal axis) 3. Plantarflexion (coronal axis) ii.Eversion: opposite of inversion
b.Talocalcaneonavicular joint
I. Composite joint: talocalcaneal joint + talonavicular joint
c. Transverse tarsal joint
i. Adds to inversion/eversion range
ii. Keeps distal foot inverted with lateral surface in contact with ground while hindfoot is everted
iii. Compensation between hindfoot and forefoot not possible when hindfoot is inverted
Name the individual bones that constitute the hindfoot
talus and calcaneus
Name the individual bones that constitute the midfoot
navicular
cuboid
cuneiforms
Name the individual bones that constitute the forefoot
metatarsals
phalanges
