Lower Limb Flashcards
this is the bone of the “heel”
calcaneous
This tarsal bone articulates with the tibia
talus
this bone articulates with the anterior border of the talus
navicular
this tarsal bone articulates with the 4th and 5th metatarsals
cuboid
this is the “hole” in the pelvis seen just lateral to the pubic symphysis
obturator foramen
this is the inferior border of the obturator foramen
inferior pubic ramus
this is the roof of the obturator foramen
superior pubic ramus
this is the insertion point for the patellar ligament on the tibia
tibial tuberosity
list the tarsals
Talus Calcaneous Navicular Cuboid 3 Cuneiforms
3 muscles that pass between inguinal ligament and pelvic bone
psoas major, iliacus, pectineus
major nerve that passes through gap between pelvic bone and inguinal ligament
femoral
major vessel that passes through gap between pelvic bone and inguinal ligament
femoral artery and vein
muscle that passes through greater sciatic foramen
piriformis
major nerve that passes through greater sciatic foramen
sciatic
major vessels that pass through greater sciatic foramen
superior and inferior gluteal arteries and veins
nerve and vessels that pass through obturator foramen
obturator
patellar ligament reflex tests nerves
L3/L4
achilles reflex tests nerves
S1/S2
list the three ligaments that surround the fibrous membrane and reinforce the hip joint
iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral
this quality of the [pelvo] femoral ligaments helps to take some of the muscle strain out of standing
spiral, tightens when femur is extended
nerve for anterior compartment of thigh
femoral
nerve for medial compartment of thigh
obturator
nerve for posterior compartment of thigh
tibial
nerve of ankle and toe flexors
tibial

plantar nerves
nerve of ankle and toe extensors
