What are the 3 bands of the lateral ankle ligament listed in order in which they are sprained?
1. ) Anterior talofibular 2. ) Calcaneofibular 3. ) Posterior talofibular
26
What is the "spring" ligament and what anatomy does it span?
Aka plantar calcaneonavicular ligament. Maintains medial longitudinal arch of foot. Goes from sustentaculum tali (calcaneus) to the navicular
27
What are the 4 bands of the deltoid ligament (medial)
1. ) Tibionavicular 2. ) Posterior tibiotalar 3. Anterior tibiotalar 4. ) Tibiocalcaneal
28
What does the lateral ligament of the foot attach?

29
What does the medial ligament (deltoid ligament) of the foot attach?
Attaches the medial malleolus to the tarsus
30
True or false: The division of arterial supply of the upper is extremity is the same of both sides
True
31
What is the basic pattern of arterial supply of the upper extremity from proximal to distal (subclavian turns into what, which becomes what, etc)?
Subclavian artery at the anterior border between the first rib and clavicle becomes the axillary artery. The axillary descends and becomes the brachial artery at the inferior border of the teres major. At the inferior border of the cubital fossa, the the brachial will divide into the radial and ulnar arteries. The radial artery will terminate in the hand in the deep palmar arch. The ulnar artery in the forearm gives off the common interosseous artery that divides into anterior and posterior interosseous artery to supply the forearm (ant and post compartments). Ulnar artery terminates in hand in the superficial palmar arch.
32
What is the basic pattern of venous drainage of the upper extremity from distal to proximal?
Axillary vein made up of: cephalic vein (radial side) and basilic vein (ulnar side) which meet at the median cubital vein, but split off again with cephalic going straight into the axillary vein, but the basilic joining with the brachial veins and then going into the axillary vein. Axillary vein becomes the subclavian vein (+ internal jug vein) which becomes the brachiocephalic vein which drains into the SVC and then right atrium.
33
Where does the external jugular vein drain into?
The subclavian vein
34
What is the pattern of arterial supply to the lower extremity?
External iliac will give off Deep circumflex branch and inferior epigastric artery. At inferior border of the inguinal lig it becomes the femoral artery. The femoral artery becomes the politeal artery (at the posterior aspect of the adductor canal). one side goes off into the anterior tibial artery, which becomes the dorsal pedis artery, and then into the arcuate. The other branch of the popliteal artery becomes the posterior tibial artery, the peroneal artery (gives branches into lateral compartment), and then medial and lateral plantar arteries.
35
What is the superficial venous drainage of the lower extremity proximal to distal?
Dorsal venous arch -> Medial side of the arch: Gives rise to great saphenous vein that ascends anterior to medial malleolus and continues up anteromedial leg and thigh and drains in femoral vein. Lateral side of arch: Gives rise to lesser saphenous vein that ascends posterior to lateral malleolus and continues up posterior leg and and drains into potliteal vein.
36
