Random facts Flashcards
of ankle joints on medial side
4
ant. and post. tibiotalar
tibionavicular
tibiocalcaneal
medial ligament that doesnt cross ankle joint
planter calcaneonavicular
most commonly sprained ankle ligament
- how
anterior talofibular
- inversion and planter flexion
why lateral ankle sprain causes bruising on both sides
inversion and planter flexion crushes medial ligaments and blood supply
ligaments that exist on all metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints
colleateral ligaments
ligaments that cause webbing of toes
deep transverse metatarsal ligaments
ligament/tendon vs fascia
fascia
- disorganized tissue
- strong in multiple directions
Circular like ligaments that contain long muscles of toes
plantar ligaments
- keep tendons in place
- flexor pully system
arches of the foot created by
connective tissue on base of the foot
sciatic nerve origin
L4-S3
- tibial and common fibular parts
saphenous nerve origin
femoral nerve (L2-4)
saphenous innervation
skin on medial side of foot and leg
anterior leg innervation
deep fibular nerve
“fibularis” muscles formally called
peroneal muscles (longus/brevis)
tendons which wrap around lateral malleolus
fibularis brevis and longus
- brevis most anterior
lateral leg muscles innervation
superficial fibular nerve
leg muscles that cross knee joint
poplitius
plantaris
gastrocnemius
muscles that insert on achillies
gastrocnemius
soleus
plantaris
posterior leg muscle innervation
tibial nerve
leg muscle with no known action
plantaris
- very small with long tendon
structures around medial malleolus
- anterior to posterior
tibialis posterior flexor digitorum longus posterior tibial artery tibial nerve flexor hallucis longus
muscles on top of foot
- innervation
extensor digitorum brevis
- deep fibular nerve
dorsal interossei
- lateral planter nerve (branch of tibial)
- 1 and 2 also deep fibular nerve
fascia on bottom of the foot
- plantar aponeurosis (middle)
- lateral and medial plantar fascia
supports the arch on the base of foot
plantar aponeurosis
innervated by medial plantar nerve
flexor digitorum brevis
flexor hallicus brevis
abductor hallicus
1st lumbrical
innervated by lateral plantar nerve
abductor digiti minimi quadratus plantae 2nd to 4th lumbricals flexor digiti minimi adductor hallicus plantar interossei
major veins in leg and foot
great saphenous vein
small saphenous vein
- connected by dorsal venous arch
sciatic nerve path
leaves pelvic cavity through greater sciatic foramen
inferior to piriformis
travels down posterior thigh
bifurcates mid way before popliteal fossa
of bones in skull
22
- 44 at birth, then fuse
soft spot on babies
- how many
- time it takes to disappear
frontenelles
- 6 major
- back 2 months
- largest on anterior side 18months
part of skull that articulates with atlas
occipital condyles
main reason for frontenelles (soft spots)
bones move to fit through birth canal
