Lecture 19. Muscles in the leg and thigh and feet Flashcards
How are muscles in the lower limb divided?
gluteal, thigh, leg and foot
Name 3 superficial muscles in the gluteal region
- gluteal maximus
- gluteal minimis
- gluteal medius
What is the O,I,F,I of the gluteus maximus
O: posterior surface of the sacrum AND lateral surface of the ilium
I: lateral tibial condyle, greater trochanter
F: stability of knee, extension of hip joint
I: sacral plexus, inferior gluteal nerve
What is the O,I,F,I of the gluteus medius
O: external surface of the ilium
I: lateral surface of the greater trochanter
F: abduction of hip
I: superior gluteal nerve from sacral plexus
What is the O,I,F,I of the gluteus minimus
O: lateral surface of the ilium
I: anterior surface of the greater trochanter
F: flexion of the hip joint
I:superior gluteal nerve from sacral plexus
What is a muscle of the deep group of the gluteal region
piriformis
What is the O,I,F,I
O: anterior surface of the sacrum I: greater trochanter of the femur (the origin passes through the greater sciatic notch) F: lateral rotation of the hip joint I: sacral plexus
What are the compartments of the thigh
anterior, medial and posterior compartments
What are the functions of the anterior compartment of the thigh?
extensor muscles
What innervates the anterior compartment of the thigh
femoral nerve
What is the function of the medial compartment of the thigh
adductor of hip joint
What innervates the medial compartment of the thigh
obturator nerve
What is the function of the posterior compartment of the thigh (hamstrings)
flexion of the knee
What innervates the posterior compartment of the knee
sciatic nerve
Name 3 muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh
iliopsoas
sartorius
quadriceps ( have 4 heads)
