lec 14 osteofacial compartments of thigh & anterior compartment Flashcards
what are the osteofacial compartments
gluteal region
anterior compartment
medial compartment
posterior compartment
what is fascia lata
deep fascia of thigh
what is intermuscular septa
sheets of connective tissue that extend from femur to fascia lata
Where can you expect to find the medial intermuscular septum?
Stretches from fascia lata to: Spiral line Medial lip of linea aspera Medial supracondylar ridge Adductor tubercle
where can you find the lateral intermuscular septeum
stetches from IT tract to:
gluteal tuberosity
lateral lip of linea aspera
lateral supracondylar ridge
where can you find posterior intermuscular septum
Probably epimysium of adductor Magnus separating it from hamstrings

tibial nerve
what is the blood supply to anterior compartment
femoral and deep femoral arteries and veins
what is blood supply to medial compartment
deep femoral and obturator arteries and veins
what is blood supply to posterior compartment
perforating branches of deep femoral artery and vein
What muscles make up the quadriceps femoris?
anterior compartment Rectus femoris Vastus lateralis Vastus medialis Vastus intermedius
what kind of muscles in medial compartment
adductors (&flexors) of hip
