Q

what does the ciliary body do

A

includes the ciliary muscle and ciliary epithelium, ciliary muscle=accommodation and regulation of aq humour into Schlemms canal, ciliary epithelium produces the aq humour

the femoral nerve

37

sensory

38

A

passing distally by passing between the Sartorius and gracillis

39
Q

where does the saphenous nerve innervate

A

the fascia and skin of the anteromedial aspects of the knee and leg and the medial aspect of the foot where it accompanies the great saphenous vein

40
Q

what is contained in the femoral canal

A

deep lymphatics and adipose tissue

41
Q

where do medial and lateral circumflex arteries arise from

A

profunda femoris artery

42
Q

where do the femoral vessesl pass in relation to the inguinal ligament

A

femoral vessels, femoral nerve and iliopsoas muscle leave the limb by passing deep/posterior to the inguinal ligament in the retroinguinal space

43
Q

name the muscles in the anterior thigh

A

Sartorius, quadriceps femoris and iliopsoas

44
Q

what type of reflex is assessed by knee jerk

A

deep tendon reflex

45
Q

what does a positive knee jerk show

A

confirms the function of the muscle, its nerve supply, the spinal cord connections (reflex arc) and descending controls from the brain

46
Q

what is the main function of the medial thigh muscles

A

to adduct the thigh at the hip

nb gracilis also crosses the knee and is hence a weak knee flexor

47
Q

where do the muscles of the medial thigh attach distally

A

posterior surface of the shaft of the femur along the linea aspera

48
Q

what is the region in between the buttocks called

A

intergluteal cleft

49
Q

what are the spinal roots of posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh

A

S1-3

50
Q

what are the spinal roots of the superior gluteal nerve

A

L5, S1, S2

51
Q

what is club foot

A

inverted and plantarflexed foot which is not passively correctable

52
Q

why is the short head of biceps not considered to be a true hamstring

A

it attaches proximally to linea aspera of femur (rather than ischial tuberosity)
doesn’t cross the hip joint and doesn’t contribute to movement of the hip
supplied by common fibular branch of sciatic nerve rather than tibial branch

53
Q

what are the muscles in the superficial layer of the posterior leg

A

2 heads of gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris and popliteus

54
Q

what are the deep muscles of the posterior leg

A

flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, tibialis posterior

55
Q

what do the muscles in the posterior leg do

A

mainly plantarflex the ankle and toes, tibialis posterior assists tibialis anterior with INversion of the foot

56
Q

how do the muscles of the posterior leg enter to foot

A

pass posterior to the medial malleolus and deep to the flexor retinaculum

57
Q

what are the muscles in tom dick and harry

A

Tibialis posterior, Flexor Digitorum Longus, Posterior Tibial artery, Tibial Nerve, Flexor Hallucis Longus

58
Q

what is a colles fracture and when does it happen

A

fracture of lower end of radius, distal fragment is displaced backward, fall on wrist in extension

59
Q

what is a smith fracture

A

fracture of distal end of radius, falling onto a flexed wrist

60
Q

why are high c spine dislocations potentially fatal

A

if they are above C3 which supplies the diaphragm (c3,4,5 supplies the diaphragm)

61
Q

what is a burst fracture

A

a thoracolumbar fracture with involvement of the posterior elements

62
Q

what can more stable thoracolumbar injuries without substantial displacement or collapse be treated with

A

a brace to limit flexion and prevent kyphosis

63
Q

what is spinal shock

A

physiological response to injury with complete loss of sensation and motor function and loss of reflexes below the level of the injury
usually resolves in 24 hours with the return of relfexes

64
Q

what is neurogenic shock

A

occurs secondary to temporary shutdown of sympathetic outflow from the cord from t1-l2 usually due to injury in the cervical or upper thoracic cord leading to hypotension and bradycardia

65
Q

how is neurogenic shock treated

A

IV fluids

66
Q

what is a complete spinal cord injury

A

no sensory or voluntary motor function below the level of injury

67
Q

what is central cord syndrome

A

hyperextension injury in a cervical spine with OA often there is no dislocation or subluxation
paralysis of arms more than legs due to the corticospinal (motor) tracts of the upper limbs being more central than those of lower limbs

68
Q

anterior cord syndrome

A

loss of motor function (corticospinal tracts) as well as loss of coarse touch, pain and temperature sensation(lateral spinothalamic tract) while proprioception, vibration and light touch are preserved
