Exam 3: Lower limb contd lecture ii Flashcards
tibial nerve: a terminal branch of the _ nerve
sciatic
tibial nerve: near the medial _, divides into the medial and lateral _ nerves
medial malleolus, plantar nerves
tibial nerve: one of its branches, the _ nerve, contributes to the sural nerve, which supplies some of the skin of the _ and _
medial sural cutaneous nerve, some skin of the foot and skin of the lateral and posterior part of inferior leg
posterior tibial artery: a terminal branch of the _ artery
popliteal artery
posterior tibial artery: runs alongside _ nerve
tibial
posterior tibial artery: supplies _ compartment and _
posterior compartment and foot
posterior tibial artery: inferiorly, divides in the _ and _ arteries, the arteries of the sole of the foot
medial and lateral plantar arteries
plantar fascia: the _ fascia of the sole
deep
plantar fascia: holds foot together, help protect sole, and helps support the _ of the foot
longitudinal arches
plantar aponeurosis: formed by the central part of the _ fascia
plantar fascia
plantar aponeurosis: arises from (bone)
calcaneus
plantar aponeurosis: divides distally into 5 bands that become continuous with the fibrous digital sheaths that enclose the _
flexor tendons to the toes
medial longitudinal arch: runs _ to _ (anatomical position)
posterior to anterior
lateral longitudinal arch: runs _ to _ (anatomical position)
posterior to anterior
transverse arch: runs _ to _ (anatomical position)
medial to lateral
the plantar aponeurosis, _ ligament, and _ ligament are very important in maintaining the arches
long plantar ligament, and short plantar ligament
foot: compartments of the sole: all foot muscles are contained w/in 4 (or 5 depending on whether one “counts” the dorsal) compartments: _, _, _, and _
medial, central, lateral, and interosseous
foot: compartments of the sole: the interosseous compartment is present only in the _ and contains the _
forefoot, metatarsals
foot: muscles: of the 20 individual muscles of the foot, most are located on the _ aspect, followed by _ position where the least are on the _ aspect
plantar aspect (14) followed by (4) in the intermediate position then dorsal aspect (2)
foot: muscles: most of these muscles fcn to
a. maintain the foot’s arches
b. refine the efforts of the long muscles (esp in producing pronation and supination to enable the foot to adjust to uneven ground)
c. and/or flex, extend, abduct, or adduct one or more toes
d. all of the above
d
foot: muscles: they are innervated by the _ and _ nerves
medial and lateral plantar nerves
