what is the fascia called overlying the crural region? What are its 3 layers?
crural fascia. Superficial, middle, and deep layers of the crural fascia
crural region
region from the stifle to the tarsus
what aponeuroses is the middle layer of the crural fascia continuous with?
aponeuroses of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, gracilis, and sartorius, which insert on the tuber calcaneus
what muscles does the deep layer of the crural fascia surround?
muscles of the crus (lower leg)
between which 2 muscles does the superficial peroneal n. run?
long and lateral digital extensors.
from what nerve does the superficial peroneal n. originate?
common peroneal n.
what do the peroneal nerves innervate?
muscles that flex the hock and extend the digit
Name 3 muscles innervated by tibial n.?
gastrocnemius, superficial digital flexor, and deep digital flexor. All of these extend the hock
fx of peroneus tertius
serves as a long ligament over joints. Made up of thick band of tendinous tissue
Caudal cutaneous sural nerve is cutaneous branch of which nerve?
tibial n.
What does the femoral artery continue as after the caudal femoral a. branches off over the gastrocnemius m.?
popliteal a.
Which muscles are visible on the medial side of the crus?
deep digital flexor and portion of the tibialis cranialis
Origin and insertion of superficial digital flexor
origin: supracondylar fossa of the femur
insertion: tuber calcaneus
What are extensor retinacula?
fibrous bands with transverse fibers that bind the tendon of the long digital extensor
2 terminal branches of the popliteal a.
