Anatomy midterm 2 Flashcards
Suboccipital Triangle
Superomedial: Rectus Capitis Posterior Major
Superolateral: Obliquus Capitis Superior
Inferior: Obliquus Capitis Inferior
Floor: Posterior atlanto-occipital membrane and posterior arch of C!
Roof: Semispinalis Capitits
Suboccipital Triangle Innervation
Suboccipital nerve
Lower Limb major regions:
- Gluteal Region - between trunk and free lower limbs
- Femoral Region - thigh region, connects hip and knee joints
- Knee Region - distal femur, proximal tibia and fibula, and patella
- Leg Region - connects knee and ankle joint
- Ankle or Talocrural Region
- Foot Region
Popliteal Fossa
Fat-filled hollow posterior to knee
Femur
- Largest & Heaviest bone in body
- Linea Aspera: double edge ridge on posterior part
Patella
- large sesamoid bone
- formed after birth
Tibia
- large
- weightbearing
- articulates with: femoreal condyle, talus
Fibula connected with Tibia by:
interosseous memebrane
Bones of foot
- Tarsus
- Metatarsus
- Phalanges
How many Phalanges are there?
14 phalanges
- 2 in big toe, 3 in the rest
Gracilis
- Acts on 2 joints (knee joint and femoral acetabular joint)
- Long strap-like muscle
- anterior branch of obturator nerve
- flexes and adducts hip
Soleus
- shaped like a fish
- innervated by tibial nerve, and acts as plantarflexor
Genu Varum
like a cowboy, legs spread
Genu Valgus
knees touch
Greater Trochanter Muscles
- Vastus Lateralis
- Obturator Internus
- Gemelli
- Piriformis
- Gluteus Minimus
- Gluteus Medius
Navicular
- a tarsal bone found in foot
- looks like boat or cashew
Femoral Triangle
- Superiorly: Inguinal Ligament
- Medially: Adductor Longus
- Laterally: Sartorius
- Floor: iliopsoas; laterally, & pectinius; medially
Suprapatellular Bursae
- between femur and tendon of quadriceps femoris
- communicates freely with synovial cavity of knee joint
Popliteus Bursae
- between tendon of popliteus and lateral condyle of tibia
Anserine Bursae
- resembles a goose foot
- where tendons attach to tibia
- separates tendons of sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosis
Gastrocnemius Bursa
- extension of synovial cavity of knee joint
Semimembranosus Bursa
distal attachment of semimebranosus
Subcutaneous prepatellar
allows free movement of skin over patella
Subcutaneous infrapatellar
helps knee withstand pressure while kneeling
