Human Body Unit I Flashcards
The erector spinae muscles are positioned __________ to the transversospinalis muscles
superficial
The ________ ______ passes anterior to the hip joint and posterior to the inguinal ligament.
femoral nerve
The external iliac artery passes ______ to the inguinal ligament
posterior
The femoral artery passes ________ to the sartorius muscle
posterior (deep)
The ____ _______ muscles are positioned superficial to the transversospinalis muscles
erector spinae
The femoral nerve passes _________ to the hip joint and _______ to the inguinal ligament
anterior/posterior
The ______ _______ passes posterior to the inguinal ligament.
external iliac artery
At the inguinal ligament, the femoral artery is _______ to the femoral vein and ______ to the femoral nerve.
lateral/medial
Within the femoral triangle the iliopsoas muscle is positioned _____________ to the femoral nerve, artery, and vein.
directly posterior (deep)
At the level of the femoral triangle, the pectineus muscle is positioned directly ______ to the femoral nerve, artery, and vein.
posterior (deep)
The lateral circumflex femoral artery passes ______ and __________ to the femur.
anterior and lateral
The medial circumflex femoral artery passes directly __________ to the pectineus muscle.
lateral
The medial circumflex femoral artery passes directly ________ to the iliopsoas muscle.
medial
So, the medial circumflex femoral artery is ______ to the pectineus but _____ to the iliopsoas
lateral/ medial
The obturator nerve passes ________ to the superior pubic ramus.
directly inferior
While we’re on the subject, what does the obturator nerve innervate?
adductor brevis, adductor magnus, adductor longus, gracilis, and obturator externus
The adductor brevis muscle is _________ and __________ to the adductor longus and __________ to the adductor magnus muscle.
posterior/superior/anterior
What action do all those 3 muscles share?
adduction of the thigh
What different actions do those adductor muscles have?
adductor brevis= just thigh adduction
adductor longus= adduction and thigh flexion
adductor magnus= adduction and thigh extension
What leg compartment do these 3 muscles fall under?
medial femoral muscles
What are all the medial femoral muscles, and what are they mainly innervated by?
adductor brevis, longus, magnus, gracilis, petineus, obturator externus/ obturator nerve
What are the exceptions?
adductor magnus is obturator nerve and tibial division of sciatic nerve; pectineus is femoral nerve, and accessory, and optional of obturator n. being present
So if you had a nerve lesion to the obturator n., what are some muscular movements you would have difficulty performing?
thigh adduction, flexion of the thigh, extension of the leg, medially rotating the leg, and laterally rotating the thigh
The profunda femoral artery is positioned ________ to the adductor magnus muscle.
anterior
