Question
Answer
What are the 3 major nerves that supply the lower extremity?   femoral nerve, sciatic nerve, & obturator nerve  
🗑
This nerve supplies the muscles of the anterior compartment of the thigh.   Femoral nerve  
🗑
This nerve supplies the muscles of the medial (adductor) compartment of the thigh.   Obturator nerve  
🗑
This is really 2 nerves that are bundled into 1 nerve in the thigh (tibial n. and common fibular n.).   Sciatic nerve  
🗑
This nerve supplies the posterior compartment of the thigh, leg, & plantar surface of the foot.   Tibial nerve  
🗑
This nerve supplies the anterior & lateral compartments of the leg and doral surface of the foot.   Common fibular nerve  
🗑
As the external iliac artery passes into the thigh, it is renamed_______________. This is the main artery to the lower extremity.   femoral artery  
🗑
This artery supplies anterior of the thigh.   Femoral artery  
🗑
This branch of the femoral artery supplies the posterior compartment of the thigh.   deep artery of the thigh  
🗑
As the femoral artery passes behind the knee it is renamed___________ and supplies around the knee.   popliteal artery  
🗑
As the popliteal artery enters the leg, it branches into the________ and________.   anterior tibial and posterior tibial arteries.  
🗑
The anterior tibial artery ends as the ________ of the foot.   dorsalis pedis artery  
🗑
A branch of the posterior tibial artery that supplies the lateral compartmet of the lef.   fibular artery  
🗑
The posterior tibial artery ends as the _________.   medial and lateral plantar arteries of the foot.  
🗑
Innervaterd by Anterior rami of lumbar nn This muscle acts conjointly in flexing thigh at hip joint & in stabilizing this joint.   Iliopsoas  
🗑
Innervated by Inferior gluteal n This muscle extends thigh & assists in its lateral rotation; steadies thigh & assists in rising from sitting position   Gluteus maximus  
🗑
Innervated by Superior gluteal n Abducts & medially rotates thigh   Gluteus medius & Gluteus minimus  
🗑
Innvervated by Femoral nerve This muscle flexes, abducts, & laterally rotates thigh at hip joint; flexes leg at knee joint   Sartorius  
🗑
These muscles are innervated by the femoral nerve. They extend leg at knee joint; rectus femoris also steadies hip joint & helps iliopsoas flex thigh   Rectus femoris, Vastus medialis, Vastus intermedius, Vastus lateralis  
🗑
These muscles are innervated by the sciatic nerve. They flex leg & rotate it laterally when knee is flexed; extends thigh   Biceps femoris  
🗑
These nerves are innervated by the tibial division of the sciatic nerve. They extend thigh; flex leg & rotate it medially when knee is flexed   Semimembranous & Semitendinosus  
🗑
Innervated by obturator nerve. Adducts thigh; flexes leg; helps rotate leg medially   Gracilis  
🗑
Innervated by Obturator neve. Adducts thigh.   Adductor longus  
🗑
Innervated by Obturator nerve & tibial part of sciatic nerve. Adducts thigh; flexes thigh & extends thigh   Adductor magnus  
🗑
Innervated by obturator nerve. Adducts thigh; to some extent flexes it   Adductor brevis  
🗑
Adducts & flexes thigh; assist w. medial rotation of thigh   Pectineus  
🗑
Innervated by deep fibular nerve. Dorsiflexes ankle & inverts foot.   Tibialis anterior  
🗑
Innervated by deep fibular nerve. Extends lateral 4 digits & dorsiflexes ankle   Extensor digitorum longus  
🗑
Innervated by deep fibular nerve. Extends great toe & dorsiflexes ankle   Extensor hallucis longus  
🗑
Innervated by Superficial fibular nerve. These muscles of the lateral leg everts foot & weakly plantarflexes ankle.   Fibularis longus & Fibularis brevis  
🗑
Innervated by Tibial nerve. Plantarflexes ankle when knee is extended; raises heel during walking; flexes leg at knee joing   Gastrocnemius  
🗑
Innervated by Tibial nerve. Plantarflexes ankle independently of knee position; steadies leg on foot   Soleus  
🗑
Innervated by Tibial nerve. Weakly flexes knee & unlocks it; medially rotates ribia of unplanted limb   Popliteus  
🗑
Innervated by Tibial nerve. Flexes great toe   Flexor hallucis longus  
🗑
Innervated by Tibial nerve. Flexes lateral four digits; plantarflexes ankle   Flexor digitorum longus  
🗑
Plantarflexes ankle; inverts foot   Tibialis posterior  
🗑
Innervated by deep fibular nerve. Aides the extensor digitorum longus in extending the 4 medial toes   Extensor hallucis brevis  
🗑
Innervated by deep fibular nerve. Aidses the extensor hallucis longus in extending the great toe   Extensor digitorum brevis  
🗑
Innervated by medial plantar nerve. Abducts & flexes 1st digit (great toe, hallux)   Abductor hallucis  
🗑
Innervated by medial plantar nerve. Flexes lateral 4 digits.   Flexor digitorum brevis  
🗑
Innervated by Lateral plantar nerve. Abducts & flexes little toe (5th digit)   Abductor digiti minimi  
🗑
Innervated by Lateral plantar nerve. Assists flexor digitorum longus in flexing lateral 4 digits   Quadratus plantae  
🗑
Innervated by medial plantar nerve. Flexes proximal phalanx of 1st digit.   Flexor hallucis brevis  
🗑
Innervated by lateral plantar nerve. Adducts 1st digit   Adductor hallucis  
🗑
Innervated by lateral plantar nerve. Flexes proximal phalanx of 5th digit, thereby assisting w. its flexion   Flexor digiti minimi brevis  
🗑
Innervated by lateral plantar nerve. Adducts digits (3-5) & flex metatarsophalangeal joints   Plantar interossei  
🗑
Abduct digits (2-4) & flex metatarsophalangeal joints   Dorsal interossei  
🗑
What is the function of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)?   It prevents posterior displacement of the femur on the tibia & hyperextenstion of the knee joint.  
🗑
What is the function of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)?   It prevents the anteriior displacement of the tibia on the femur & helps prevent hyperflexion of the knee joint. It is the main stabilizing factor for the femur.  
🗑
