Q

How does the arrangement of collagen in the tendon change as it nears bone?

A

In purely the tendon, it is quite parallel, with about 20 fibres per bundle
As it nears the bone it becomes wavy and irreguar

Q

How are sharpey’s fibres formed?

A

Osteoblasts secrete osteoid onto collagen fibres already projecting into bone, calcifying it.

Q

What happens to the coarse collagen fibres in the tendon as they near the muscle?

A

They blend at the myotendinous junction, becoming attached to the sarcolemma

Q

Where is the origin vs. insertion of the lateral iliotibial muscle?

A

Origin is ileum of pelvis

Insertion is tibiotarsus of shank

17
Q

What is the corresponding muscle to the iliotibial muscle in humans?

A

The gluteus maximus

18
Q

Where does the iliofibular muscle insert?

A

The fibula

19
Q

What does the sling do?

A

Prevents the iliofibular muscle from bowstringing

20
Q

What is the corresponding muscle to the iliofibular muscle in humans?

A

The biceps femoris

21
Q

What is the corresponding muscle to the sling of the chicken leg in humans?

A

The short head of the biceps femoris

22
Q

Where is the lateral knee flexor?

A

It forms the posterior muscle of the thigh

23
Q

Where is the gastrocnemius muscle?

A

Below the knee of the chicken

24
Q

Where do the medial and lateral knee flexor muscles combine?

A

In their combined aponeurosis, culminating in a tendon that inserts on the tibiotarsis

25
What is the anatomy of the combined knee flexor aponeurosis?
It is in two parts: A large anterior part inserts on the tibiotarsus, while the smaller posterior part joins a fibrous fascia on the medial surface of the shank, becoming a large tendon on the posterior side of the intertarsal joint
26
What is the equivalent of the posterior knee flexor tendon in humans?
The achilles tendon
27
What is the origin of the knee flexor muscles?
In the pelvis, posterior to the head of the femur. | The lateral knee flexor muscle origin is dorsal to that of the medial
28
Where is the lateral knee flexor accessory muscle and how do we identify it?
It joins the anterior edge of the lateral knee flexor distally, with fibres at right angles to the axis of the thigh
29
What is the function of the lateral knee flexor accessory muscle?
It prevents the lateral knee flexor from bowstringing
30
What happens to the hip joint when the iliofibular muscle contracts?
The hip joint extends
31
What happens to the hip joint when the long head of the biceps femoris contracts?
The hip joint extends
32
What happens to the hip joint when the short head of the biceps femoris contracts?
Nothing
33
What happens to the knee joint when the iliofibular muscle contracts?
The knee joint flexes
34
What are the hamstring muscles of the human thigh?
The biceps femoris, semimembranous and semitendinosus muscles
35
What are biarticulate muscles?
The cross two joints (usually hip and knee)
36
Why is it easier to bend forward in a crouch than with the legs straight?
The hamstrings become less taut when the knees are bent due to their origin and insertions being closer together
37
What are the phases in walking?
``` Heel strike Foot flat Mid-stance Push off Toe off Mid swing Heel strike ```
38
Which phases of walking do the hamstrings contract in?
Heel strike, to decelerate the step and reduce impact. Some action during right foot flat for balance They also prevent excessive hip flexion.
39
What are the equivalent muscles in the human to the medial and lateral knee flexors?
The semimembranous and semitendinous muscles.
