lower extremity - leg and foot Flashcards
the deep fascia of the leg
crural fasia
compartments of the leg
posterior
lateral
anterior
posterior (superficial and depp) leg compt innervation
tibial nerve
list the superficial posterior leg muscles
gastrocnemius
soleus
plantaris
which muscle attaches from the posterior tibia & fibula TO calcaneus via calcaneal tendon
soleus
attachments of gastrocnemius
medial and lateral femoral condyles TO calcaneus (via calcaneal tendon)
another word for calcaneus tnedon
achilles tendon
diff bn gastrocnemius action and soleus action
both: plantarflexion
gastrocnemius: knee flexion (bc crosses knee joint posteriorly)
list the deep posterior muscles of leg
flexor hallucis longus
tibialis posterior
flexor digitorum longus
popliteus
which muscle of deep posterior compartment of leg attaches from posterior fibula & tibia TO tarsal and metatarsal
tibialis posterior
attachments & action of flexor hallucis longus
posterior fibula to distal phalanx of Big toe
flexes 1st digit (big toe) & plantarflexion
attachments and action of flexor digitorum longus
posterior tibia to distal phalanx of digits 2-5
flexes 2-5 digits & plantarflexion
action of tibialis posterior
plantarflexion & inversion
sciatic nerve gives rise to what nerves that provide motor below the knee
tibial and common fibular
for the posterior leg (deep and superficial) what nerve innervates it
tibial nerve
lateral leg compt innervation
superficial fibular nerve
