A

all Tibial n (Sciatic n > Tibial nerve)

21
Q

What nerves innervate the lateral compartment muscles of the thigh?

A

Superficial fibular/peroneal n

22
Q

Plantaris – originates at distal Femur
Soleus – originates at proximal tibia

24
Q

Gastrocnemius & Plantaris

25
Q

What muscle originates at the proximal tibia?

A

Soleus

26
Q

Where do the superficial muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg insert?

A

Calcaneus via achilles tendon

27
Q

What are the deep muscles of the posterior portion of the leg?

A
  • popliteus + tom, dick, harry
  • Popliteus – tendon on lateral side at knee
  • Tibialis Posterior
  • Flexor Digitorum longus

28
Q

What are the functions of the tibial nerve? Where is it located?

A

Goes to the posterior portion of the leg (all about flex)

  • plantar flex
  • flex toes
  • medial to invert foot
29
Q

What are the functions of the common fibular nerve? Where is it located?

A

Goes to the anterior portion of the leg (all about extend)

  • dorsiflex the foot
  • extend the toes
  • lateral to evert the foot
30
Q

What muscle is on the lateral side of the pes anserinus and what muscle is on the medial side?

A

Because the Pes Anserinus is on the medial side of the Tibia, the Semintendinosis muscle is medial and the Semimembranosis muscle is lateral in the thigh
