        Help!  

Question
Answer
gluteal tuberosity, linea aspera, medial supracondylar line   Insertion of adductor part of Adductor Magnus  
🗑
innervation of Adductor part of Adductor Magnus   posterior branch of obturator n.  
🗑
Obturator n. spinal levels   L234  
🗑
Adductor portion of Adductor Magnus innervation and spinal level   Obturator n., L3,L4  
🗑
adductor tubercle (insertion)   Hamstring part of Adductor Magnus  
🗑
What lies between the adductor part and the hamstring part of the Adductor Magnus insertions   Adductor HIATUS! See ya!  
🗑
Innervation of hamstring part of Adductor Magnus   tibial division of sciatic n.  
🗑
What is the difference in origins of the obturator n. and the tibial part of the sciatic nerve?   Obturator is the most medial/last branch off the lumbar plexus (L234) while Tibial division of sciatic is most lateral/first branch of lumbosacral anterior plexus  
🗑
Why does it make sense for the adductor portion of Adductor magnus to be innervated by Obturator n. and the hamstring portion to be innervated by Tibial division of sciatic n.?   Obturator n. is short, close in and higher up like the adductor portion and Tibial division of sciatic is long, innervating all the hamstrings (except short head biceps femoris) so makes sense for hamstring head of adductor magnus  
🗑
Why would Obturator EXternus be considered a lateral rotator only?   It attaches on the posterior femur in the trochanteric fossa between greater and lesser trochanters, but begins in the front along the obturator foramen. It stretches exactly parallel to the floor, so when it contracts, it can only pull lateral to medial  
🗑
innervation of Obturator EXternus   posterior division of Obturator n. (L234)  
🗑

🗑
Why doesn't Obturator EXternus aBduct the flexed thigh like Obturator INternus?   it only functions in one plane (horizontal) so short and sweet and rotate lateral!  
🗑
The posterior branch of Obturator n. lies between what two muscles?   Adductor brevis and longus  
🗑
what cutaneous/skin area does the obturator n. innervate?   the dogbite patch right above the medial knee

🗑
what lies between the superficial and deep muscles of the posterior leg?   neurovascular plane  
🗑

🗑
what is spinal level for knee?   L3, because L5 is on the side and L4 is where you got kicked in the shin before  
🗑
L3 is for the ______, because L5 is on the ______, and L4 is where you were kicked in the _______. before   L3 is over the knee, because L5 is on the side and L4 is where you got kicked in the shin before.  
🗑
Why does it make sense for the back of the thigh to be PFC and spinal level S2 of S1,S2,S3 choices for Posterior Femoral Cutaneous n.?   Because S2 is the only branch shared by both the common fibular and tibial divisions that comprise the PFC.  
🗑
