Q

What is the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament’s function?

A

helps to stabilise the subtalar joint along with the cervical ligament. The primary function of the cervical ligament is to resist excessive joint supination whereas the ITC ligament remains taut during pronation.

deep artery of the thigh, (profunda femoris artery or deep femoral artery)

32
Q

What makes up the pes anserinus tendon?

consists of the conjoined flattened tendons of the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus tendon

33
Q

What is a continuation of the femoral artery, passing through the adductor hiatus?

A

popliteal artery

34
Q

Where does the pes anserinus tendon insert and what is it’s function?

A

into the proximal tibia and acts as a secondary valgus restricitng something the medial supporting structures of the knee ***

35
Q

What muscles make up the levator ani?

A

iliococcygeus, puborectalis, pubococcygeus

36
Q

What bony structure gives attachment to the sacrospinous ligament?

transverse process vertebra, joins the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae to the posterior iliac crest

39
Q

What is the function of the sacrotuberous, sacrospinous and iliolumbar vertebra together?

A

stabilisers of the sacroiliac joint and connection of the bony pelvis to the vertebral column

40
Q

what attaches to the lateral border of the anterior superior iliac spine?

A

muscle = sartorius muscle/ and part of tensor fasciae latae muscle
ligament = inguinal ligament
