As we follow the common iliac arteries down, it will split into an ____ iliac artery and ____ iliac artery.

A

32
Q

The (internal/external) iliac artery runs along the psoas major muscle and becomes the femoral artery as it exits the pelvis just deep to the inguinal ligament.

A

external

33
Q

The (internal/external) iliac artery comes off of the common iliac artery and runs deep into the sacral region to provide blood to the pelvis.

A

internal

34
Q

Lateral to the external iliac artery is the ____ nerve.

A

femoral

35
Q

The (abdominal/pelvic) girdle is the foundation to which the lower limb is anchored.

A

pelvic

36
Q

The hip joint is at the lower edge of the pelvic girdle and is the junction or region associated with the hip and it includes the ___ region, the ____ region, and the ____ triangle.

A

inguinal, gluteal, and the femoral

37
Q

The (ankle/knee) is the junction between the femur and the tibia and the fibula

A

knee

38
Q

The (femur/tibia and fibula) makes up the thigh, the (femur/tibia and fibula) make up the leg

A

femur; tibia and fibula

39
Q

The (hip/ankle) joint is the junction between the leg and the foot.

A

ankle

40
Q

The organization of the lower limb is ( a different/ the same) type of organization that we have in the upper limb. We’re gonna have a superficial fascia which is a subcutaneous tissue and you will see superficial veins, small unnamed arteries, and cutaneous nerves running all along it.

A

the same

41
Q

The great and small saphenous veins run down (half of/ the whole) lower extremity

A

the whole

42
Q

Deep to the superficial fascia we have what is called the ____ lata. This is the investing fascia and it surrounds muscle and extends all the way down the limb.

A

fascia

43
Q

The ____ tract/band has attachments to the bones of the thigh, the leg, and the foot via the intermuscular septa. So the deep fascia attaches to the bones as it runs down the limb and forms compartments just like we had in the upper extremity.

A

iliotibial

44
Q

When we are developing in the fetus, what is anterior in the fetus becomes (anterior/posterior) when we stand up and vice versa. So in the fetus what is posterior as the body unwinds and gets to a standing position over time in its development ends up facing the other direction.

A

posterior

45
Q

When we talk about the anterior compartment of the thigh and leg, the nerve fibers that go through those compartments are (anterior/posterior) division fibers because in fetal development those compartments are facing the other direction.

A

posterior

46
Q

In the posterior compartment of the thigh and leg in the developed human has (anterior/posterior) division nerve fibers in it and that is all because of that twisting that occurs from fetal development in birth and as the leg unwinds as it develops.

A

anterior

47
Q

The gluteus does not rotate around so the gluteal nerves in the lumbosacral plexus will be (anterior/posterior) division fibers.

A

posterior

48
Q

The investing fascia in the thigh is called the ____ and that investing fascia surrounds the entire leg deep to the subcutaneous fascia (superficial fascia) and it surrounds each of the muscles

A

fascia lata

49
Q

With that investing fascia in the thigh we have thickened portions of that investing fascia that run from the outer layer and dive into the bone, individually these are called ____.

A

septum

50
Q

The ____ and ____ intermuscular septum of the thigh separate the anterior compartment from the posterior and medial compartment

A

lateral and medial

51
Q

When we think of the thigh we think of it being compartmentalized into two compartments – an ____ and a ____ compartment

A

anterior and a posterior

52
Q

The posterior compartment of the thigh contains the (medial/lateral ) compartment

A

medial

53
Q

In the leg we have the investing fascia surrounding the whole leg. There is an (anterior/posterior) septum coming off of the fibula and a (anterior/posterior) septum. Those two septum create the (medial/lateral) compartment.

A

anterior; posterior; lateral

54
Q

The (anterior/posterior) compartment of the leg is made up of the anterior septum and the interosseous membrane

A

anterior

55
Q

In the leg there is a (lateral/transverse) intermuscular septum that is running from the posterior septum all the way over to the medial side and that creates a superficial posterior compartment and a deep posterior compartment

A

transverse

56
Q

The muscles of the lateral compartment of the leg are innervated by the ____ nerve

A

superficial fibular

57
Q

The investing fascia surrounding the whole leg in the region of the lower extremity is called the ____ fascia.

A

crural

58
Q

The foot, unlike the hand is (as/not as) compartmentalized because the septa are not as well developed.

A

not as

59
Q

The foot is broken up into ___ layers.

A

four

60
Q

Muscles in a (specific/different) compartment tend to have similar functions and tend to be innovated predominantly by one nerve.

A

specific

61
Q

Initial contact of the lower extremity to the ground is _% of the GAIT cycle. So the GAIT cycle starts when your heel hits the ground.

A

0

62
Q

If we are looking at the right foot, a whole GAIT cycle is when the (right/left) foot hits the ground for the initial contact and when it hits the ground again for the second time.

A

right

63
Q

If we are looking at the right foot, at __% of the GAIT cycle is when the left foot makes initial contact.

A

50

64
Q

If we are looking at the right foot, at _% of the GAIT cycle is when the right foot makes heel contact for the second time.

A

100

65
Q

If we are looking at the right foot, from _% to _% of the GAIT cycle is the right stance phase. This is the period of time from which the right foot is on the ground.

A

0 to 60

66
Q

The swing phase is from _% to _% of the GAIT cycle, and it is called right toe off. This is the time period where the reference foot is in the air and off of the ground.

A

60 to 100

67
Q

So each leg during a GAIT cycle spends _% of the GAIT cycle on the ground and _% in swing in the air.

A

60; 40

68
Q

The opposing action when our foot hits the ground in a normal GAIT cycle is the ____.

A

Ground Reaction Force
