19
Q

What are the common spinal cord segments of the anterior and lateral leg muscles?

A

L4-S1

20
Q

What dermatome is associated with the 1st toe?

A

L4

21
Q

What dermatome is associated with the 5th toe?

A

S1

22
Q

What dermatome is associated with the heel?

A

23
Q

What is the location and pathway of the common fibular nerve?

A

You can find it deep to proximal fibularis longus and it curves around the neck of the fibula. It splits deep to fibularis longus into superficial and deep fibular nerves.

24
Q

What nerve descends with anterior tibial artery?

A

Deep fibular nerve.

25
Q

What two muscles does the deep fibular nerve run inbetween?

A

Tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus

26
Q

What does the tibial nerve split into?

A

Lateral and medial plantar nerves

27
Q

What does the sural nerve branch off of?

A

Tibial Nerve

28
Q

What does the tibial nerve run with?

A

Popliteal artery and vein and then continues on with posterior tibial artery.

29
Q

Superficial fibular nerve supplies what two muscles?

A

Fibularis longus and brevis.

30
Q

What are the common spinal cord segments for the Anterior and Lateral leg muscles?

31
Q

What are the common spinal cord segments for flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, and soleus?

A

L5-S2

32
Q
