Exam 3 Compartments Flashcards
Gluteus medius and minimus (and tensor fasciae latae)
Superior gluteal NAV
L4-S1
Gluteus Maximus
Inferior gluteal NAV
L5-S2
Posterior thigh
Tibial division of the sciatic nerve (except short head of biceps femoris is innervated by the common fibular division of the sciatic nerve)
Perforating artery branches of the profunda femoris artery
Tibial division of sciatic nerve is L4-S3
Common fibular division of sciatic nerve is L4-S2
Anterior thigh
Femoral nerve
Profunda femoris vessels
Femoral nerve is L2-L4
Medial thigh
Obturator nerve (except hamstring part of adductor magnus is innervated by the tibial division of the sciatic nerve)
Obturator artery and vein
Obturator nerve is L2-L4
ACL vs PCL? Where are they and what do they prevent?
ACL originates from behind the knee and it prevents hyperextension.
Acl prevents hyperExtension (vowels!)
Anterior compartment of the leg
Deep fibular nerve
Anterior tibial vessels
Lateral compartment of the leg
Superficial fibular nerve
Posterior compartment of the leg
Tibial nerve
Posterior tibial and fibular vessels
Dorsum of the foot
Deep fibular nerve
Anterior tibial artery (gives off dorsalis pedis artery…)
Ankle (look over ligaments too)
Branches of tibial and deep fibular nerves
Malleolar branches of the anterior/posterior tibial and fibular arteries
What are the 4 compartments of the foot?
Medial - medial plantar neurovasculature
Interosseus - deep plantar and metatarsal vessels
Lateral
Central -lateral plantar neurovasculature
Muscles of the foot
The tibial nerve divides into the lateral and medial plantar nerves, which innervate all intrinsic foot muscles except extensor hallucis and digitorum brevis muscles.
Posterior tibial artery bifurcates into lateral and medial plantar arteries. The veins have the same name
Make specific cards pertaining to which muscles are in which compartment
And know where the nerves differ
