A

Ext. hallucis longus
Ext. digitorum longus
Peroneus tertius

34
Q

Y- shaped
• more important since it holds more structures

retinaculum that Binds Peroneus and Peroneus brevis due to common synovial sheath

A

Superior peroneal retinaculum

39
Q

It is the continuation of inferior extensor retinaculum (stem of
Y) on the lateral side. It binds Peroneus longus and brevis (with separate synovial sheath)

A

Inferior peroneal retinaculum

40
Q

Deep fascia of the foot

A

PLANTAR APONEUROSIS

41
Q

ARTERIAL SUPPLY OF THE LEG?

A

From branches of popliteal artery (after adductor

hiatus)

42
Q

A branch of popliteal artery that:

• Move to anterior by piercing through the interosseous
membrane
• Smaller
• Supplies anterior fascial compartment

A

ANTERIOR TIBIAL ARTERY

43
Q

A branch of popliteal artery that:

  • Larger
  • supplies bigger post. compartments
A

POSTERIOR TIBIAL ARTERY

44
Q

• Divides medial and lateral plantar artery  branch to

peroneal artery  goes down becomes dorsalis pedis

A

POSTERIOR TIBIAL ARTERY

45
Q
  • Branch of post. tibial artery from post. tibial artery
  • Pierces post. fascial septum
  • Blood supply of lateral compartment
A

PERONEAL ARTERY/ FIBULAR ARTERY

46
Q
  • Arterial blood supply of dorsal foot
  • Continuation of ant. tibial artery
  • Farthest palpable artery
A

Dorsalis pedis

47
Q

a vessel that connects
dorsalis pedis with lateral plantar artery by passing
between the 1st dorsal interosseous muscle to form
plantar arch

A

deep plantar artery

48
Q

arterial supply in the plantar and medial side of the big toe

A

Medial plantar artery

49
Q

arterial supply in the plantar and lateral side of the big toe

A

Lateral plantar artery

50
Q

Vein that drains the whole foot

A

Dorsal venous arch

51
Q

Dorsal venous arch drains to ____ in the medial malleolus and ___ in the lateral mallelous.

A

great saphenous

small saphenous

52
Q

small saphenous drains to _____

A

Popliteal vein and/or Great saphenous vein

53
Q

deep veins of the foot

A

Venae Comitantes

54
Q

Venae Comitantes drains to ____

A

Popliteal vein

55
Q

The one responsible for venous pump

A

Venae Comitantes

56
Q

deep veins move blood upward
due to contraction of large muscle soleus and
pulsation of adjacent arteries

A

venous pump

note:
Contraction: veins constrict - valves open- blood is pumped upward

Relaxation: veins dilate- valves close- blood stays

57
Q

common in elderly
after a long plane ride; manifested by difficulty in
breathing

A

deep venous thrombosis

58
Q

worse deep venous

thrombosis

A

pulmonary embolism

59
Q

prolonged
relaxation of calf muscles causes thrombosis in
the vein

A

deep venous insufficiency

60
Q

Communicating vessels between superficial and deep veins of the leg

A

PERFORATING VEINS

61
Q

Dysfunctional valves: flow of blood reverses causing

A

varicose veins

62
Q

nerve that is sensory to the skin of dorsum except 1st web space
and lateral side of little toe

A

Superficial peroneal nerve

63
Q

nerve that is sensory to the skin of 1st web space

A

Deep peroneal nerve

64
Q

loss of eversion in the ankle joint results from the injury of what nerve?

A

Superficial peroneal nerve

65
Q

loss of dorsiflexion, loss of extension of tones, sensory loss at 1st web space of the foot results from the injury of what nerve?

A

Deep peroneal nerve

66
