Outline 15 Flashcards
The fibula is/ is not part of the knee joint
IS NOT
Which malleolus in the leg is bigger,
medial or lateral?
medial malleolus is bigger
The tibia and the fibula are like the (a) in the (b)
(a) ulna and radius
(b) arm
The head of the fibula has a styloid process which is most like the (a) in the (b) because (c)
(a) styloid process
(b) ulna
(c) head of the ulna is next to its styloid process …the radius also has a styloid process but it is in the opposite direction of the head
Tibia is like the (a) in that it is subcutaneous all the way down and helps create the boundaries
Ulna
What are the 4 compartments in the leg
(a) crural interosseous membrane
(b) anterior interosseous septum
(c) posterior interosseous septum
(d) transverse crural intermuscular septum aka deep transverse fascia
Crural interosseous membrane separates….
anterior from posterior leg
Anterior interosseous septum separates (a)…
Connects (b) ?
(a) anterior from lateral leg
(b) connects fibula to deep transverse fascia
Posterior interosseous septum separates (a)
(a) lateral from posterior leg
Transverse crural intermuscular septum separates (a)
connects (b)
(a) posterior compartment: superficial from deep
(b) connects fibula to tibia
Anterior compartment NS
deep peroneal n
Anterior compartment BS
anterior tibial a
Anterior compartment FN
dorsiflexion
Also…
tibialis anterior assists with inversion
peroneous tertius assist peroneous longus + brevis with eversion
Anterior compartment muscles
EHL
EDL
tibialis anterior
peroneous tertius
Three special things about tibialis anterior
- strongest of the dorsiflexors
2. works with tibialis posterior to (3) contribute to inversion
EDL is most like (a) in the (b)
(a) ED
(b) hand
EHL is most like (a) in the (b)
(a) EPL
(b) hand
Lateral compartment NS
superficial peroneal n
Lateral compartment BS
peroneal a
Lateral compartment FN
eversion
Lateral compartment muscles
peroneus longus
peroneus brevis
Peroneous (a) is a bigger muscle because it starts more (b) and attaches to (c) and because of this has greater (d) than peroneous (e) which starts more (f)
(a) longus
(b) proximally
(c) it attaches to the hallicus, the brevis attachers to the 5th metacarpal
(d) leverage
(e) brevis
(f) distally
Posterior compartment NS
tibial n
Posterior compartment BS*
posterior tibial a
*popliteal a for gastroc and popliteus
Posterior compartment FN
special exception?
plantarflexion
popliteus - unlocks knee
Posterior compartment muscles
Superficial
- gastrocnemius
- soleus
- plantaris
- popliteus
Deep
- FHL
- FDL
- tibialis posterior
Triceps surae
gastroc + soleus
(a) + (b) cross the knee in the superficial layer while (c) does not
(a) gastroc
(b) popliteus
(c) soleus
additional action of gastric and popliteus not seen in (c)
knee flexion (c) soleus - only does plantar flexion
FDL is like (a) in (b)
(a) FDP
(b) arm
FHL is like (a) in (b)
(a) FPL
(b) arm
plantaris is like (a) in (b)
(a) palmaris longus
(b) arm
Popliteus origin
lateral condyle of femur
Popliteus instertion
proximal posterior tibia
Popliteus action
hint: 2
normal: rotate tibia medially (internal rotation)
reverse: rotate tibia laterally (external femur rotation)
Tibialis posterior is like (a) in (b)
