Lecture 11 (Exam 2) Flashcards
What 3 arteries supply the dorsum of the foot?
Anterior tibial artery
Arcuate artery
Deep plantar artery
The anterior tibial artery is a branch from what artery?
Dorsalis pedis artery
The _______ artery is a termination of the dorsals pedis artery and gives off the dorsal metatarsals to the dorsal digitals.
Arcuate
What are the 3 main nerves of the dorsum of the foot?
Superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve Deep peroneal (fibular) nerve Sural nerve
This nerve is cutaneous and gives rise to the medial and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerves.
Superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve
This nerve has a lateral branch that is the motor to intrinsic muscles on the dorsum, and a medial branch that is cutaneous.
Deep peroneal (fibular) nerve
This nerve gives off the lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve.
Sural nerve
Tendons of both the peroneus longus and brevis pass through both of these retinacula.
Superior peroneal retinacula
Inferior peroneal retinacula
What are the muscles involved with the dorsum of the foot?
Extensor digitorum brevis
Extensor hallucis brevis
Dorsal interossei
The extensor hallucis brevis is sometimes considered part of what other muscle?
Extensor digitorum brevis
The dorsal interossei are (ADDUCTORS/ABDUCTORS) and use the (FIRST/SECOND) toe as the reference.
Abductors
Second
What provides the blood supply for the sole of the foot?
Posterior tibial artery which branches into medial and lateral plantar arteries
Perforating arteries
What are the main nerves providing the cutaneous innervation in the sole of the foot?
Tibial nerve
Saphenous nerve
Sural nerve
In the sole of the foot, what does the tibial nerve branch into?
Medial calcaneal nerve
Medial plantar nerve
Lateral plantar nerve
What provides the motor innervation to the sole of the foot?
Tibial nerve via the lateral and medial planter nerves
What are the superficial layers of the sole of the foot?
Skin
Plantar aponeurosis
What is the first muscle layer of the sole of the foot?
Abductor hallucis
Flexor digitorum brevis
Abductor digiti minimi
What are the tendons in the first muscle layer of the sole of the foot?
Flexor digitorum longus tendon
Flexor hallucis longus tendon
What is the origin of the abductor hallucis?
Calcaneal tuberosity
What is the insertion of the abductor hallucis?
Medial sesamoid and base of proximal phalanx of great toe
What actions does the abductor hallucis perform?
Abducts great toe at MP joint
Helps to flex MP joint
What innervates the abductor hallucis?
Medial plantar nerve
S1-2
What is the origin of the flexor digitorum brevis?
Calcaneal tuberosity
What is the insertion of the flexor digitorum brevis?
Sides of middle phalanges of digits 2-5
What actions does the flexor digitorum brevis perform?
Flexes PIP joints of digits 2-5
What innervates the flexor digitorum brevis?
Medial plantar nerve
L5, S1-2
