(21 cards)
Functions of lower limb
Support body weight
locomotion
Maintain equilibrium
Fascia Lata attachment points
superiorly-Inguinal Ligament,Pubic arch;body and tubercle
Laterally and poateriolly-Illiac crest
Posteriorly-Sacrum,coccyx,Sacrotuberous Ligament,Ischial Tuberosity
Distally-attaches to bony parts of knee joint
Laterally-attaches to iliotibial tract
Saphenous opening Contents
Cribiform Fascia sieve like connective tissue
Great saphenous vein
Efferent lymphatic vessels
Cutaneous nerves of thigh
Subcostal nerve Iliohypogastric nerve Ilioinguinal Nerve Genitofemoral nerve Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve Anterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Cutaneous branch ofobturator nerve Posterior femoral cutaneous Nerve
Route of saphenous vein
Dorsal Venous Arch
Ascend infront of the medial malleolus
passes medial condyle of tibia and fibula together with saphenous nerve
Passes through the saphenous opening
Piercs femoral sheath to join femoral vein
types of fascia
Cribriform fascia
Fascia lata
Cutaneous fascia
Path of the small saphenous vein
;Lateral end of the dorsal venous arch of foot
up on lateral side with sura nerve
perforates deep fascia of popliteal fossa to join popliteal vein
inguinal lymph nodes receive lymph from
Anterolaterla abdominal wall-bellow umbilicus
gluteal region
lower parts of vagina aand anus external genitalia
