MSK3 L16 - Pelvic Girdle and Hip Flashcards
3 functions of the lower limb
- movement and bipedal locomotion
- weight bearing
- force transmission
4 regions of the lower limb
- gluteal
- thigh
- leg
- foot
What movements occur through this plane?
Sagittal
flexion and extension
What movements occur through this plane?
Coronal/frontal
abduction and adduction
What movements occur through this plane?
Transverse
rotation
internal/medial and external/lateral
What movements occur through this plane?
All
circumduction
What is the 1st tissue in the lower limb?
Superficial –> deep
skin
What is the 2nd tissue in the lower limb?
Superficial –> deep
Superficial fascia
layer of fibrous tissue
What is the 3rd tissue in the lower limb?
Superficial –> deep
deep fascia
What is the 4th tissue in the lower limb?
Superficial –> deep
muscle
What is the 5th tissue in the lower limb?
Superficial –> deep
bone
What do muscles in a compartment share?
- a common function
- common blood and nerve supply
Nervous system: three plexuses
- cervical
- brachial
- lumbosacral
What part of the body does this plexus supply?
Cervical
the neck
What part of the body does this plexus supply?
Brachial
the upper limb
What part of the body does this plexus supply?
Lumbosacral
lower limb
formed by anterior rami of L1-S4
All muscles need a nerve…
Three main nerves for lower limb?
- sciatic
- femoral
- obturator
plus gluteal nerves
Arterial supply
What names does the abdominal artery change to from approx the lumbar spine to the femur?
abdominal artery –> _____ –> _____ –> _____ –> _____
abdbominal artery –> common iliac artery –> internal iliac artery –> external iliac artery –> femoral artery
deep veins of the same name accompany the arteries, joints and skin also recieve vascular supplies
Veins function?
to return deoxygenated blood back towards the heart
Features of veins
- veins have _ blood pressure
- … blood in the lower limb needs to move … …
- veins have … to prevent … against …
- low
- venous, against gravity
- valves, backflow, gravity
Two mechanisms help venous blood movements
what are they called?
- arteriovenous pump
- musculovenous pump
What does the arteriovenous pump do?
arterial pulse helps warm and push blood in accompanying veins
What does the musculovenous pump do?
when skeletal muscles contract, muscle swells and the expansion helps propel venous blood
