June4 M3-Anatomy LL 4 Flashcards
medial and lat malleoli are on what
medial on tibia
lateral on fibula
tibia articulates with what bone of the foot
talus
function of the top and bottom holes in interosseus membrane between tibia and fibula
let blood vessels pass through (anterior tibial a. for ex for top one)
what’s an extension of the foot
doesn’t exist. we have two flexions
- dorsiflexion
- plantar flexion
- *BUT YOU SAY EXTENSION AND FLEXION FOR THE TOES**
on front of the shin (leg), what should be the muscle we touch
tibialis anterior m. (on the tibia)
4 muscle compartments in the leg
- anterior
- lateral
- superficial posterior
- deep posterior
muscles of superficial posterior group of leg
- gastrocnemius
- plantaris (runs between gastrocnemius more superficial and soleus deeper)
- soleus
muscles of deep post group of leg
- popliteus
- flexor digitorum longus
- tibialis posterior m.
- flexor hallucis longus
gastrocnemius (medial and lateral head) O, I, N and F
- O: posterior distal lateral and medial femur
- I: calcaneus (via the calcaneal tendon)
- N: tibial n.
- F: knee flexion, plantar flexion
soleus O, I, N, F
- O: soleal line of tibia and head of the fibula (soleus is a bit lateral in the leg)
- I: calcaneus (via the calcaneal tendon)
- N: tibial n.
- F: plantar flexion
plantaris O, I, N, F
- O: lateral distal posterior femur
- I: calcaneus (via calcaneal tendon)
- N: tibial n.
- F: plantar flexion and knee flexion
plantaris vs popliteus
- plantaris is strong, tube-like and narrower
- popliteus is sheet-like, thinner and covers more space
popliteus (deep posterior group) O, I, N and F
- O: posterior surface of tibia above the soleal line
- I: lateral epicondyle of the femur (PASSES DEEP TO LCL)
- N: tibial n.
- F: lateral rotation of the femur on the tibia (unlock the knee, after locked in hyperextension)
relation of popliteus m. with LCL
passes deep to it
(trick to not be confused and think that plantaris passes deep to LCL: popliteus is in deep layer so popliteus passes deep to LCL)
when is popliteus more free and why (in which position)
when the knee is bent, bc LCL is less tense
soleal line is what
a bump on the back of the tibia that goes medial to lateral as you follow it upwards
3 muscles other than popliteus in post compt of leg and order in which they come
med to lat
- flexor digitorum longus
- tibialis posterior
- flexor hallucis longus
flexor digitorum longus O, I, N, F
- O: shaft of tibia
- I: distal phalanges of lateral four toes
- N: tibial n.
- F: 1. plantar flexion 2. support arch of the foot 3. flex the distal phalanx of the 4 toes
tibialis posterior O, I, N, F
- O: shaft of tibia and fibula + interosseus membrane
- I: plantar surface of medial side of the foot (near base of 1st metatarsal)
- N: tibial n.
- F: 1. plantar flexion 2. support arch of the foot 3. invert the foot
flexor hallucis longus O, I, N, F
- O: shaft of fibula
- I: distal phalanx of big toe
- N: tibial n.
- F: 1. plantar flexion 2. support arch of the foot 3. flex the distal phalanx of the big toe
2 crossings of the muscles of the deep posterior leg + where happen
- tibialis posterior goes medial to flexor digitorum longus (happens post to medial malleolus)
- flexor hallucis longus tendon goes medial to flexor digitorum tendon (happens on plantar surface of the foot medially)
muscles in ant compt of the leg and their order
med to lat
- tibialis anterior
- extensor hallucis longus
- extensor digitorum longus
- fibularis tertius
tendons crossing in muscles in ant compt
no tendons crossing as in deep posterior compt
tibialis anterior O, I, N, F
- O: shaft of tibia and interosseus membrane
- I: plantar surface of medial side of the foot (like tibialis posterior) (near base of 1st metatarsal)
- N: deep fibular n.
- F: invert the foot. dorsiflexion
