Lower Limb — Flashcards

The _____ nerve (L4-S3 (nerve roots)) provides:- sensory innervation to the sole of foot - motor innervation to the triceps surae (soleus and gastrocnemius), plantaris, popliteus, flexor muscles of the foot, and tibialis posterior

_____ is the point where the tendon of flexor hallucis longus passes deep to the tendon of flexor digitorum longus to reach the medial side of sole of foot.

Boundaries of popliteal fossa:Superomedially: _____Superolaterally: Biceps femorisInferomedially: Medial head GastrocnemiusInferolaterally:Lateral Head Gastrocnemius

The _____ nerve (L2-L4 (nerve roots)) provides:- sensory innervation to the anterior thigh and medial leg- motor innervation to the quadriceps, iliopsoas, pectineus, and sartorius

_____ epiphyseal vessels supplying the femur head derive their nutrition from from the foveolar artery, which is a branch of the obturator artery

Hint: lateral/medial

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

Cruciate ligaments of the knee are _____capsular & extrasynovial

The _____ vessels pass deep to the superior extensor retinaculum, while the dorsalis pedis vessels pass deep to the inferior extensor retinaculum.

The structures passing through canals formed by flexor retinaculum are as follows: (Starting from the medial side): 3 tendons, 1 vessel, 1 nerve (To Dump a Very Nasty Ho)_____Flexor Digitorum longusPosterior tibial VesselsTibial NerveFlexor Hallucis longus

The _____ extends from the lateral femoral condyle to the anterior tibia.
