Leg and Thigh Flashcards
(32 cards)
_____ menisci not attached to ligament
lateral
cruciate ligaments cross eachother and attach in the
interchondylar notch
coronary ligaments attach
menisci to tibia
medial and lateral ligaments
tighten in extension and provide side-to-side stability
anterior ligaments
lax in extension, tight in flexion
posterior ligaments
lax in flexion, tight in extension
popliteal ligament
thickenings of posterior fibrous capsule of knee
proximal branch of saphenous n
femoral n
branching of sciatic
common fibular -> deep (anterior), superficial (lateral)
tibial –> posterior
knee flexors (cross posterior to knee)
gracilis, semimembranous, semitendonous, biceps femoris, popliteus, gastrocnemius, plantaris
knee extensors
quadriceps femoris (all 4) and TFL
medial rotators of knee
gracilis, semimembranosis, semitendinosis
lateral rotation of knee
biceps femoris, popliteus (initiates flexion)
why conjunct rotation occurs
1) medial condyle is longer
2) medial meniscus attached to ligament and lateral is not
larger bone of the leg
tibia
____ bone of the leg is medial, and ____ bone of the leg is lateral
tibia, fibula
___ phalanges, ____ metatarsals, ___ tarsals
14,5,7
strong ligament of ankle
medial/deltoid
subtalar and transverse talar joints
inversion and eversion
interphalangeal motion
flexion and extension
metatarsaphalangeal
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
tarsometatarsal joints
gliding
anterior leg is supplied by the ____ artery and the ___ nerve and contains ____ muscles
extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, fibularis tertius, tibialis anterior
deep fibular nerve
anterior tibial artery
primarily responsible for dorsiflexion
lateral leg is supplied by the ___ artery and the ____ nerve and contains _____ muscles
fibular artery
superio fibular nerve
fibularis brevis and longus
