Muscles and Their Actions Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: The _____ nerve (L4-S2) provides: - sensory innervation to the dorsum of the foot - motor innervation to the short head of biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and extensor muscles of the foot.

Answer: common peroneal

Flashcard 2: The _____ nerve (L2-L3 (nerve roots)) provides sensory innervation to the anterior and lateral thigh and motor innervation to the none.

Answer: lateral femoral cutaneous

Flashcard 3: Inversion of the foot is carried out by?_____

Answer: Tibialis anterior and posterior

Flashcard 4: The _____ layer of the sole consists of plantar and dorsal interossei and the tendons of tibialis posterior and peroneus longus

Answer: fourth

Flashcard 5: The _____ nerve (L4-S3 (nerve roots)) provides: - motor innervation to the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris, and hamstring portion of the adductor magnus - sensory innervation to the leg and foot (via terminal branches)

Answer: sciatic

Extra: The **posterior femoral cutaneous nerve** (S1-S3) provides sensory innervation to the skin of the posterior thigh. The sciatic nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the leg and foot (except the medial side, which is supplied by the saphenous nerve).

Flashcard 6: The _____ and adductor magnus belongs to the medial compartment of the thigh.

Answer: gracilis

Flashcard 7: The gluteus maximus muscle is attached to the _____ of the fascia lata.

Answer: iliotibial tract

Flashcard 8: The structure marked is the _____ ligament.

Answer: lacunar

Flashcard 9: What are the four primary ligaments of the knee joint?

Answer: 1. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) 2. Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) 3. Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) 4. Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)

Extra: The ACL and PCL provide anteroposterior stability and are located within the joint capsule (intra-articular). The MCL and LCL provide mediolateral (valgus/varus) stability and are located on the medial and lateral aspects of the joint, respectively.

Flashcard 10: What structures pass deep to the superior and inferior extensor retinacula of the ankle? (List 4 tendons and 1 nerve from medial to lateral)

Answer: From medial to lateral: 1. **Tibialis anterior** (Tendon) 2. **Extensor hallucis longus** (Tendon) 3. **Deep peroneal nerve** (Nerve) (and Anterior tibial artery) 4. **Extensor digitorum longus** (Tendon) 5. **Peroneus tertius** (Tendon) Mnemonic: **T**all **H**imalayas **A**re **N**ever **D**ry **P**laces (Tibialis anterior, Hallucis longus, Artery, Nerve, Digitorum longus, Peroneus tertius)
