Q

What is the function and nerve supply for the articularis genus muscle

A

Pull the synovial membrane of the knee joint upward during knee extension, preventing it from being pinched or compressed between the femur and patella.
Protect the joint capsule by maintaining its proper position during knee movements.

Q

What is the Westphals sign

A

Refers to a decreased or absent patellar tendon reflex, also known as the knee-jerk reflex.

This reflex is tested by tapping the patellar tendon below the kneecap, which should normally cause the leg to extend

23
Q

What is the origin and insertion of the medial compartment of the thigh

A

Origin :on the pubis
Insertion: linea aspera of the femur
Except Gracillis which insertys at the Medial aspect of the proximal part of the tibia

24
Q

What is the function of the proximal and lateral fibres of the medial compartment

A

The proximally inserting fibers contribute to lateral rotation.
Distally-inserting fibers contribute to medial rotation.

25
Q

Whats the function of the Hamstring muscle

A

extensors of the thigh at the hip and flexors of the leg at the knee,

26
Q

What is the individual function of the biceps femoris

A

Biceps femoris is a lateral rotator of the leg and thigh,

27
Q

Which muscles of the hamstrings serve as medial rotators

A

semimembranosus and semitendinosus can serve as medial rotators of the leg

28
Q

What nerve supplies the Hamstrings

A

The tibial branch of the ciatic nerve, Except the short head of the biceps femoris, which is innervated by the common fibular nerve

29
Q

Which group of muscles are the pes anserinus

A

The pes anserinus consists of the conjoined tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles

It inserts into the proximomedial tibia and acts as a secondary valgus restraint augmenting the medial supporting structures of the knee.

30
Q

What is the function of the pes anserinus muscles

A

The pes anserinus stabilizes the medial side of the knee, particularly during activities like walking and running.
It assists in flexion and medial rotation of the knee when the knee is flexed.

31
Q

What is the name of the deep fascia of the leg

A

Crural Fascia

32
Q

What innervates the anterior compartment of the leg

A

Deep fibular nerve

33
Q

What is the action of the lateral compartment of the leg

A

Eversion of the foot and assist in plantar flexion

34
Q

What nerve supplies the lateral compartment of the leg

A

Superficial fibular nerve

35
Q

What are the vestigial muscles of the leg

A

Plantaris muscle
Fibularis(peroneal tertius) muscle

36
Q

What is the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles collectively reffered to

A

Triceps surae muscle, Theyre the main plantar flexors of the foot

37
Q

Other function of the gastrocnemius

A

Power flexor of the leg

38
Q

Whats muscle is responsible for unlocking the extended knee

A

Popliteus muscle

39
Q

What is femoral hernia

A

When a loop of the intestine protrudes into the femoral canal

40
Q

Fibularis brevis

A

BAse of the fifth metatarsal

41
Q

Fibularis Longus

A

The fibers of the fibularis longus muscle travel inferiorly to the foot and insert, via a long tendon, onto the: - plantar surface of medial cuneiform bone; - plantar aspect of the base of first metatarsal bone.

42
Q
A
43
Q

Tom
Dig
And
Harry

A

tibialis posterior Tendon
Flexor digitorum longus
Artery and nerve
Flexor Halluicic longus

44
Q

What are the borders of the Femoral Triangle

A

SUPERIOR BORDER: INGUINAL LIGAMENT

LATERAL BORDER: SARTORIOUS MUSCLE?

MEDIAL BORDER: ADDUCTOR LONGUS MUSCLE

45
Q

Illiotibial tract

A

Thickening of the lateral side of the thigh

46
Q

What is the trendelenburg sign

A

The Trendelenburg sign is a physical examination that tests for weakness in the hip abductor muscles, primarily the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.

47
Q

What is the mechanism for the Trendeleburg sign

A

A patient is made to stand on one leg with the other leg unsurported
The Abductors of the hip(gluteus madius and minimus) are to contract to prevent the pelvis from sagging on the unsurpoted leg
A sagging hip on the unsupported leg is indicative of a positive Trendeleburg sign and a weakenig in the hip abductors

48
Q

Anatomically and functional what parts of the body does the gluteal region belong to

A

It is Anatomically part of the Trunk but functionally considered as part of the lower extremity

49
Q

What is the innervation of the skin of the gluteal region

A

The cluneal nerve

50
Q

What are the boundaries of the gluteal region

A

Superiorl : Iliac Crest
Medially: intergluteal cleft
Laterally the greatertrochanter
Inferiorly the gluteal fold

51
Q

What is the action of the Gluteus maximus

A

primarily abductors, extensors and lateral rotators of the thigh

52
Q

What is the powerful extensor of the thigh

A

Gluteus maximus

53
Q

What is the innervation and blood supply of the Gluteus maximus

A

inferior gluteal nerve

Blood supply from both inferior and superior gluteal arteries

54
Q

What is the innervation and blood supply of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus and tensor fascia latae

A

Superior gluteal nerve
Superior Gluteal artery

55
Q

What is the function of the gluteus medius and minimus

A

Theyre abductors of the hipjoint

56
Q

Where is an IM(Intramuscular injection given in the buttocks, and why

A

Given at the upper outer quadrant of the buttocks

To avoid injecting into the sciatic nerve
