Q

What are the hamstrings of the posterior compartments

A

Biceps femoris
Semimembranous
Semitendinous

17
Q

What nerve would supply the lateral aspect of the thigh

A

The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve

18
Q

What nerve would supply the pectineus

A

The obturator and the femoral nerves

19
Q

Why is the pectineus considered to be mainly in the anterior compartment

A

Would be a flexor of the knee

20
Q

Why can the pectineus be considered to be in the medial compartment

A

Medially rotates
aDducts

21
Q

What nerve innovates the hamstring part of the Adductor Magnus

A

The sciatic nerve
(Goes to the posterior)

22
Q

Where is the palpatable area for the Great saphenous vein

A

1cm anterior of the medial malleolus

23
Q

What veins make up the great saphenous vein

A

Dorsal venous arch
The Dorsal vein of the great toe

24
Q

What muscles would attach to the Pes Anserinus

A

Say : Sartorius
Grace : Gracialiis
before
Tea : s.Tendinous

25
Q

What nerve does the femoral nerve become as it goes through the adductor Canal (hiatus)

A

The saphenous nerve (to the leg)

26
Q

What are the boundaries of the femoral canal

A

Lateral : septum between femoral vein and canal
Posterior : pectineus
Medial : lacunar ligament
Anterior : inguinal ligament

27
Q

What are the boundary’s of the adductor Canal (hiatus)

A

Laterally and anteriorly : vastus medialis
Posteriorly : adductor longus and Magnus
Anteriorly and Medially : sartorius

28
Q

Where does the medial and the lateral vastus attach to

A

The medial and the lateral patellar retinacula

29
Q

Why would the rectus femoris be a flexor

A

Would attach above the hip joint so would be a flexor

30
Q

What is the intermuscular septae

A

Connective tissue that would come from the deep fascia
separates the compartments of the thigh

31
Q

What fascia would cover the saphenous opening

A

Cribiform fascia
(Comes from blending of the membranous scarpas fascia and deep fascia)

32
Q

What are all the functions of the sartorius muscle (anterior)

A

Knee : flexes and Medially rotates
Hip : flexes, abducts, laterally rotates

33
Q

What muscles would be in the medial aspect of the thigh
(The adductors)

A

Adductor Magnus
Adductor brevis
Adductor longus
Obturator externals
Gracialiis

34
Q

Where does the tibial nerve and the common peroneal nerve branch from

A

The sciatic nerve

35
Q

What is the main blood supply to the neck of the femur

A

The medial femoral circumflex artery

36
Q

Where does the superior gluteal nerve pass through

A

The greater sciatic foremen

37
Q

What nerve would pass through the lesser sciatic foramen

A

Pudendal nerve

38
Q

What nerve innovates the short head of the biceps femoris

A

Common peroneal branch of the sciatic nerve

39
Q

What nerve innovates the long head of the biceps femoris

A

The tibial branch of the sciatic nerve
