Flashcards in Popliteal Fossa, Vessels, and Nerves of the Leg and Dorsum of the Foot Deck (52)
Loading flashcards...
1
boundaries of popliteal fossa
superolateral - biceps femoris tendon
superomedial - semimembranosus
inferolateral - lateral head of gastrocnemius
onferomedial - medial head of gastrocnemius
roof - popliteal fascia of fascia lata
floor - posterior surface of capsule of knee and popliteus muscle
2
contents of popliteal fossa
termination of posterior fermoral cutaneous nerve
division of sciatic nerve into tibial and common fibular
muscular and cutaneous branhes of tibial nerve
cutaneous braches of common fibular nerve
popliteal vein and tributaries
popliteal arteries and branches
popliteal lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, and fat
3
superficial to deep in popliteal fossa?
nerves, veins, arteries
4
popliteal artery
direct continuation of femoral artery after emerges from adductor hiatus
deepest of vascular structures in popliteal fossa
terminates at inferior border of popliteus
5
genicular anastomosis**
won't ask about the ten arteries
-will be some lab with some arteries tagged
-on written maybe something in principal about it
6
branches of popliteal artery
lateral and medial superior genicular artery
lateral and medial inferior genicular artery
middle genicular artery
sural branches
7
how many genicular arteries?
5
**like 5 spots on a die
8
lateral and medial superior genicular artery
come off above heads of gastrocneius
deep to hamstring muscles***
in fat
9
lateral and medial inferior geniuclar arteries
deep to heads of gastrocnemius
in fascia
10
middle genicular artery
arises from anterior surface ad passes through capsule of knee to medial heads of gastrocnemius muscle
11
sural branches
pass directly into lateral and medial heads of gastrocnemius muscle
there is 2 of them
12
sural area
back of lower leg
13
crural area
front of lower leg
14
dissect gastroc where?
below the vasculature
15
bifurcation of popliteal artery?
posterior and anterior tibial arteries
16
anterior tibial artery
passes above origin of tibialis posterior muscle and interossesous membrane to gain entrance to anterior compartment of leg
17
posterior tibial recurrent
posterior branch of anterior tibial artery
ascends and joins the genicular anastamosis
18
circumflex fibular artery
encircles head of fibula to join genicular anastamosis
variable in origin
-from distal popliteal artery or proximal of either anterior or posterior tibial artery
19
anterior branches of anterior tibial artery?
anterior tibial recurrent
medial and lateral malleolar branches
20
dorsalis pedis
terminal branch of anterior tibial artery as it passes inferior to superficial extensor retinaculum
21
branches of dorsalis pedis?
lateral and medial tarsal arteries
arcuate artery
first dorsal metatarsal artery
deep plantar artery
22
how do dorsal metatarsal arteries communicate?
via perforating arteries with plantar circulation
23
branches of dorsalis pedis?
lateral and medial tarsal arteries
arcuate artery
first dorsal metatarsal artery
deep plantar artery
24
posterior tibial artery
one of two terminal branches of popliteal artery
-deep to soleus
-goes within substance of flexor hallucis longus
25
branches of posterior tibial artery
circumflex fibular artery
fibular artery
communicating branch
posterior medial malleolar
medial calcaneal arteries
medial and lateral plantar arteries
26
circumflex fibular artery
variabble
27
fibular artery
provides major blood supply to lateral crural compartment
branches from proximal portion of the posterior tibial artery and passes laterally
branches:
muscular
nutrient artery
communicating branches
perforating arteries
posterior lateral malleolar artery (terminal branch)
28
posterior tibial artery?
one of two terminal branches of popliteal artery
courses inferiorly deep to soleus occupying a more or less central position in the leg
passes behind medial malleolus between tibial nerve and tendon of flexor digitorum longus to reach plantar surface of foot***
29
genicular anastomisis
rich blood supply to capsule of knee joint as well as surrounding muscles
-composed of ten vessels arising from:
lateral femoral circumflex artery
femoral artery
popliteal artery
anterior and posterior tibial artery
has superficial and deep plexus***
