Southeastern Institute SA Trail Guide Chapter 7

QuestionAnswer
Largest sesamoid bone in the body Patella
Name of the knee joint Tibiofemoral
What kind of joint is the knee joint? Modified hinge
All toe flexors are found on what part of the leg? Posterior
This refers to the four lateral toes Digitorum
This refers to the big toe Hallucis
This refers to the little or 5th toe Digiti minimi
Gastrocnemius, Plantaris & Soleus insert into this tendon Achilles (Calcaneus)
O - Condyles of the femur I - Calcaneal tendon Gastrocnemius
O - Soleal line I - Calcaneal tendon Soleus
O - Lateral condyle of the femur I - Calcaneal tendon Plantaris
Gastrocnemius, Plantaris & Popliteus share this action Knee flexion
Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Tibialis Posterior, Flexor Digitorum Longus, & Flexor Hallucis Longus share this action Plantar flexion
What is the most superficial calf muscle? Gastrocnemius
What is the deepest muscle of the knee? Popliteus
What is the distal end of the fibula called? Lateral malleolus
What is the distal end of the tibia called? Medial malleolus
What is the name of the ankle joint? Talocrural
What is the agonist for plantar flexion? Soleus
What muscle has the longest tendon in the body? Plantaris
What muscle is known as the second heart pump due to its function of helping return blood to the body from the lower extremities? Soleus
The Key that Unlocks the Knee Popliteus
When a muscle isn't taking an action, it is relaxed and allowed to lengthen. We call this… Stretching
Posterior calf muscle that inverts the foot Tibialis posterior
O - proximal, posterior tibia and fibula and interosseous membrane I - medial arch of the foot Tibialis posterior
O - middle posterior tibia I - distal phalanges of 2nd thru 5th toes Flexor digitorum longus
O - middle posterior fibula I - distal phlange of the first toe Flexor hallucis longus
Flexes the four lateral toes Flexor digitorum longus
Flexes the big toe Flexor hallucis longus
If a muscle or its tendon goes behind either malleolus, it will perform this action. Plantar flexion
O - Lateral epicondyle of the femur I - Proximal, posterior aspect of the tibia Popliteus
Turning the foot so that the sole is facing medially is called… Inversion
Turning the foot so that the sole is facing laterally is called… Eversion
Flexing the ankle so that the toes point down is called… Plantar flexion
Flexing the ankle so that the toes point towards the shin is called… Dorsiflexion
The joint of the ankle were the fibula meets the tarsals is called… Talofibular
The ankle joint most often hurt during an inversion ankle sprain is the … Talofibular
What is the proximal end of the fibula called? Head
Tom, Dick, an' Harry refers to the order of structures located around this area. Medial Malleolus
Largest sesamoid bone in the body Patella
Name of the knee joint Tibiofemoral
What kind of joint is the knee joint? Modified hinge
All toe flexors are found on what part of the leg? Posterior
This refers to the four lateral toes Digitorum
This refers to the big toe Hallucis
This refers to the little or 5th toe Digiti minimi
What is the distal end of the fibula called? Lateral malleolus
What is the distal end of the tibia called? Medial malleolus
What is the name of the ankle joint? Talocrural
What is the proximal end of the fibula called? Head
When a muscle isn't performing an action, it is relaxed and allowed to lengthen. We call this… Stretching
If a muscle or its tendon goes in front of either malleolus, it will perform this action. Dorsiflexion
Turning the foot so that the sole is facing medially is called… Inversion
Turning the foot so that the sole is facing laterally is called… Eversion
O - two-thirds lateral fibula I - Base of first metatarsal & medial cuneiform Peroneus longus
Peroneus longus, Peroneus brevis & Peroneus tertius perform this action Eversion
Peroneus longus and Peroneus brevis perform this action. Peroneus tertius does not. Plantar flexion
Of the peroneals, only tertius performs this action. Dorsiflexion O - Lower two thirds of fibula I – 5th metatarsal
Primary muscle of ankle inversion Tibialis anterior
O - Upper lateral tibia & interosseous membrane I - medial cuneiform & base of first metatarsal Tibialis anterior
Extends the four lateral toes Extensor digitorum longus
Extends the big toe Extensor hallucis longus
O - upper anterior fibula I - phalanges of 4 lateral toes Extensor digitorum longus
O - middle anterior fibula & interosseous membrane I - distal phalange of big toe Extensor hallucis longus
Everting the foot & plantar flexing the ankle would lengthen this muscle Tibialis anterior
O - calcaneus (plantar surface) I - middle phalanges of 4 lateral toes Flexor digitorum brevis
O - calcaneus ( dorsal surface) I - 4 lateral toes via extensor digitorum longus tendons Extensor digitorum brevis
What is the only "brevis" muscle of this chapter that crosses the ankle joint and is found in the leg? Peroneus brevis
A membrane found between bones Interosseous membrane
Heel bone Calcaneus
Middle long bones of the foot Metatarsals
Distal bones of the foot Phalanges
The four lateral toes of the foot have this many phalanges each 3
The big toe has how many phalanges 2
How many bones are in the foot? 26
Which tarsal connects to the tibia and fibula? Talus
What bones would you find just distal to the navicular bone? Cuneiforms
O – Calcaneus I - Proximal phalange of medial side of the first toe Abductor hallucis
What is the most medial muscle on the foot? Abductor hallucis
O – Calcaneus I - Proximal phalange of the fifth toe on the lateral side Abductor digiti minimi
What is the most lateral muscle on the foot? Abductor digiti minimi
Fibrocartilaginous discs attached to the tibial condyles Menisci
This artery branches from the femoral artery to pass through the popliteal fossa at the back of the knee. Popliteal
This nerve branches off of the sciatic nerve and can be accessible and vulnerable along the posterior surface of the head of the fibula. Peroneal
This is a thick, superficial band of fascia stretching from the heel to the ball of the foot that is located between the skin and the muscles of the foot. Plantar aponeurosis
These sacs of synovial fluid found around joints help protect the joint and its surrounding structures. bursae
