What artery supplies tibialis ant?
Ant tibial A
What vein drains fl digiti minimi [of the foot]
Lat plantar V
Agonist
Mm that perform a major/ particular action.
Ex: Biceps brachii is agonist of elbow flexion
Prime mover
The main agonists.
Ex: quads are prime movers for knee extension
Synergists
Helper agonists that can also help stabilize.
Ex: brachialis is synergist to biceps brachii
Antagonist
Mm that perform opposite action of agonist.
Ex: triceps during elbow flexion
Fixators
Stabilize a region so a particular action can be done.
Ex: rotator cuff Mm in shoulder
What are two synergist to the main actions of iliopsoas?
Rectus femoris and sartorius
What are three antagonists to the main action of vastus lateralis?
Hamstirngs: Biceps femoris long head and short head, semitendinosis, semimembranosis
What are two synergists to the common action of Tib anterior & Tib posterior?
Fl dig longus & Fl hallucis longus
Fibrous jts
Rigid or relatively immovable joints
Ex: cranial sutures, inf tibiofibular jt
Cartilaginous jts
bones joined by intervening cartilage; immovable to flexible.
Ex: hyaline cart of costae, epiphyseal plates, pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs
Synovial jts
Highly movable, most common type, typically has articulating cartilages, synovial membrane, fluid, fibrous jt capsule, and ligg.
Ex: knee, elbow, etc
What’s a dermatome?
An area of skin innervated by only one spinal nerve. All spinal Nn except C1 form dermatomes; they may overlap considerably
