KIN 100 - Hip Joint, Thigh, Leg Bones (lecture 17) Flashcards
What does the head of the femur articulate with
The acetabulum of the hip bone
What is joint classification of the hip joint
ball and socket synovial joint
What is the attachment site for the ligament of the head of the femur
The fovea
What artery does the ligament to the head of the femur contain
the artery to the head of the femur
What are the intrinsic ligaments of the hip joint
1 - Iliofemoral ligament
2 - Pubofemoral ligament
3 - Ischiofemoral ligament
What are the functions of the intrinsic ligaments of the hip joint
Tighten during hip extension
Where is fascia lata
In the thigh (deep layer of fascia deep to skin)
Where is the crural fascia
in the leg (deep layer of fascia deep to skin)
iliotibial (IT) band
A thick lateral band of fascia lata (in thigh)
What are the two muscles that insert into the fibres of the ilitotibial band
- Gluteus maximus
- Tensor fascia late (TFL)
Where does the iliotibial band attach to
the lateral tibial condyle aka “Gerdy’s tubercle”
What are the two sets of veins in the lower limb
- Deep veins
- Superficial veins
What are the 6 deep veins of the lower limb
- Medial and lateral plantar veins
- Anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and fibular
- Popliteal vein
- Femoral vein
- External and internal iliac veins
- Inferior vena cava
Superficial veins of the lower limb
- Great saphenous vein
- Small saphenous vein
Great saphenous vein
- Long saphenous vein begins on the dorsum of the foot
- Ascends medially up the leg and thigh
- Drains into the femoral vein in the FEMORAL TRIANGLE
