Lower limb overview Flashcards
the gluteal region is supplied via what arteries
superior and inferior gluteal aa. from the internal iliac a.
the superior gluteal and inferior gluteal aa. form important anastomoses with what artery in the thigh
femoral artery
the external iliac artery passes under what structure to become what artery
inguinal ligament to become the femoral artery
what does the femoral artery supply
the musculature of the anterior thigh as well as the medial and posterior thigh via the circumflex and profunda aa.
in the lower 1/3 of the thigh, the femoral passes onto the posterior aspect and enters what to become what artery
enters the popliteal fossa to become the popliteal a.
in the upper leg, the popliteal a. divides into what arteries
the anterior and posterior tibial aa.
pathway of the anterior tibial a.
passes to the anterior region between the tibia and the fibula and extends down onto the dorsum of the foot as the dorsalis a.
the posterior tibial artery supplies what
the calf
posterior tibial a. gives off what branch that supplies what
fibular a. to supply the lateral aspect of the leg
at the ankle, the posterior a. divides into what arteries
medial and lateral plantar aa.
medial and lateral plantar aa. supply what
the sole of the foot
the dorsalis pedis a. pierces what space
inter-metatarsal space
the dorsalis pedis a. piercing through the inter-metatarsal space anastomoses with what
plantar arch
innervation of the lower limb is provided by what
ventral rami of the lumbosacral plexus
the superior and inferior gluteal nn. suplly the glutes as they exit the pevlis through what space
greater sciatic foramen
root values of femoral n.
L2,3,4
femoral n. supplies what
anterior part of the thigh and extensor muscles of the knee joint
A cutaneous branch of the femoral n that extends down the medial side of the leg is known as what
saphenous nerve
the saphenous nerve innervates what
skin of the medial side of leg
root values of obturator n.
L2,3,4
what does the obturator n. innervate
the medial part of the thigh and adductor muscles
root values of sciatic n.
L4,5, S1,2,3
what does the sciatic nerve innervate
posterior region of thigh, the leg, and the foot
after the sciatic nerve supplies the thigh, it divides into what nerves
common fibular and tibial nerves
the common fibular n. has what branches that supply what
superficial and deep branches that supply the anterior leg and dorsum of the foot
the tibial nerve innervates what
posterior leg
after innervating the posterior leg, the tibial nerve divides into what nerves that supply what
medial and lateral plantar nn. that supply the sole of the foot
