Module 3: Unit 4 — ANATOMY LE CARDS Flashcards
What is the innervation of Poas major?
Femoral nerve made of L2-L4 nerve segments
What are the actions and innervation of the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg?
With the exception of what muscle?
Flexion of the hip and extension of the knee *not all muscles but most!
Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2-L4 segments)
Exception is the pectineus because 2/3 of the time the femoral nerve innervates it and 1/3 of the time obturator nerve innervates it
What muscles insert at the PES ANSERINUS? 3 muscles
Sartorius, gracilis, semitendinosus
What are the actions of the sartorius muscle?
Flexion of the hip, abduction of the hip, externally (lateral) rotate the hip (Crossing leg over opposite knee)
When knee is flexed it helps with internal rotation of tibia
What are the actions of the sartorius muscle?
Flexion of the hip, abduction of the hip, externally (lateral) rotate the hip (Crossing leg over opposite knee)
When knee is flexed it helps with internal rotation of tibia
What is the primary hip flexor? And what two muscles form this?
What is the action of this muscle?
Iliopsoas = Iliacus and Psoas Major
Flexion of the hip
Name the quadriceps muscles; O: and shared I:
What is the only quadricep muscle that crosses the hip and the knee?
Rectus femoris - *The only quadriceps muscle that crosses the hip and the knee
O: AIIS
A: Flexion of hip, Extension of knee
Vastus Lateralis - O: greater trochanter and upper lateral surface of linea aspera
Vastus Medialis -O: Intertrocanteric line and medial lip of linea aspera
Vastus Intermedius - upper two thirds of the anterior and lateral surfaces of the femur
I: patella via the quadriceps tendon
What muscles make up the medial compartment? What action and innervation associate with this region.
- Adductor longus
- Adductor brevis
- Adductor magnus (rule breaker! Because its N: by obturator nerve and sciatic nerve tibial division)
- Gracilis (O:pubis symphisis, I: MPATS = PES ANS.)
A: adduction
N: obturator nerve (L2-L4)
What muscle is deep to the pectineus, and where does it get its name from? What is the action of this muscle?
Obturator Externus, got its name because its attaching originating on the external surface of the obturator foramen and obturator fascia
A: laterally rotate the hip
I: posterior aspect of femur
What muscle is primary extensor of the hip? And what are all of its actions, O:, I:
Gluteus Maximus
A: lateral rotator, abductor, adductor
Upper fibers insert into IT band and the IT band inserts on the proximal lateral tibial shaft. Lower fibers insert into the gluteal tuberosity.
What three muscles contribute to balancing the pelvis? What test involves these muscles?
Gluteus medius
Gluteus minimus
TFL
Trendelenburgs gait/sign = when you lift one foot off the ground (Like marching) and the hip falls. It’s the inability to hold the pelvis horizontal when ambulating and when walking.
——> can indicate damage to the muscle or to the nerve
—> when the hip drop is on one side, it is the opposite side nerve or muscles that are affected.
Name the O: and I: of the piriformis aaand the origin of the nerve that N: the piriformis.
O: anterior aspect of lateral sacrum
I: greater trochanter
N: nerve to the piriformis WHICH comes from the sacral plexus which is made up of the L4-S4
A: lateral rotation
Name the N: of the piriformis, quadratus femoris,
Obturator internus, obturator externus, gemellus superior, gemellus inferior and the A: of all muscles.
Piriformis N: nerve to piriformis (sacral plexus)
Quadratus femoris N: nerve to QF (sacral plexus)
Obturator internus N: nerve to OI (sacral plexus)
Obturator externus N: posterior branch of obturator nerve
Gemellus superior N: nerve to obturator internus (sacral plexus)
Gemellus inferior N: nerve to Quadratus femoris (sacral plexus
A: all muscles laterally rotate the hip
What nerve innervates the posterior compartment of the thigh and what are the actions of those muscles?
N: Sciatic nerve tibial division
A: Extension of hip, flexion of knee
What muscle of the posterior thigh attaches to the medial meniscus?
Semimembranosus
