Foot I and II Flashcards
The superficial peroneal nerve splits into what two branches in the foot?
The peroneal nerve branches into the medial and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerves.
What are the three parts of the inferior extensor retinaculum?
The stem (Fondiform ligament)
The superomedial limb - medial malleolus
The inferomedial limb - Blends with plantar fascia.
What area does the deep peroneal nerve innervate?
The deep peroneal nerve innervates the space between the great toe and the second toe.
What is the lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve a continuation of?
The sural nerve ( made up of the communicating branch of the lateral peroneal nerve and the medial branch of the tibial nerve)
The extensor digitorum brevis is found where and works on what joints?
The extensor digitorum brevis is the only intrinsic muscle of the dorsal side of the foot and goes to toes 2-4
Where does extensor halucis brevis originat from and where can it be found inserting
Extensor halucis brevis comes off the extensor digitorum brevis and goes to the great toe.
The dorsalis pedis artery eventually becomes the arcuate artery that dives deep to the plantar arch and continues into the halux and gives off how many dorsal metatarsal arteries?
Gives off three metatarsal arteries.
What are the two terminal branches of the dorsalis pedis artery?
The deep plantar branch and the first dorsal metatarsal and the other three dorsal digital arteries branches.
How many dorsal metatarsal arteries are there?
Hoe many Dorsal metatarsal veins are there?
There are three dorsal metatarsal arteris and four dorsal metatarsal veins.
What cutaneous nerve innervates the medial plantar aspect of the foot?
The saphnous nerve
What cutaneous nerve innervates the lateral 10th toe?
The lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve which is a continuation of the sural nerve.
The calcaneal branches of what nerve supply the heel area?
