- Action it creates
- Innervation
- Blood supply
gastrocnemius
GO BACK AND ADD BLOOD SUPPLY
Origin:
◘Lateral head: lateral aspect of lateral condyle of femur
◘Medial head: popliteal surface of femur, superior to medial condyle
Insertion: posterior surface of calcaneus via calcaneal tendon
Action:
◘ plantar flexion of ankle when knee is extended
◘ Raises heel during walking
◘ Flexion of knee joint
Innervation: Tibial nerve (S1, S2)
What is this? Why is it important?
Popliteal fossa
Many important structures pass through the popliteal fossa. According to Kenhub, they are:
- Nerves: tibial, common fibular, sural, posterior femoral cutaneous
- Vessels: popliteal artery and vein, short saphenous vein
- Lymph nodes: superficial and deep popliteal lymph nodes
What muscle is this?
Name:
- Origin/insertion
- Action it creates
- Innervation
- Blood supply
Sartorius
- Origin: anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
- Insertion: proximal end of tibia, below the medial condyle
- Action:
◘ Hip joint: thigh flexion, thigh abduction, external rotation of thigh
◘ Knee joint: leg flexion, leg internal rotation - Innervation: femoral nerve (L2-L3)
- Blood supply:
◘ Proximal third: branches of femoral artery, deep femoral artery, artery of quadriceps, lateral circumflex femoral artery
◘ Middle third: branches of femoral artery
◘ Distal third: branches of femoral and descending genicular arteries
