Lower Limb

Final Test

QuestionAnswer
What is the function for the lower limb? locomotion, support body weight, posture, equlibrium
Joints are made from what type of cartilage? articular, hylaine cartilage
The joint cavity is enclosed by.. a double layered articular capsule made of fiberous material that is continous with the periosteum of the bone
Internally joint capsules are lined with? A synovial membrane, and synovial fluid to decrease friction
Intrinsic or capsular means? thickening of the joint capsule
Extracapsular means? outside of joint capsule
Intracapsular means? Within joint but not part of capsule
What type of joint is the hip joint? A synovial joint (ball and socket)
What makes up the hip joint? the head of the femur, and actebellum of hip bone
Describe the acetebellar fossa a rough depression that extends up above the acetebellar notch.
What surrounds the acetebellar fossa? The articular or lunate surface- it is a smooth horseshoe shaped
What is the actebellar labrum? A circular ridge of fibrocartilage that runs around the boney rim of the actebellum forming a resilliant edge.
What is the function of the actebellar labrum? To increase the depth of the socket, this labrum fits snug around the head of the femur.
Where does the iliofemoral ligament run to and from? from the ASIS to the actebellum rim proximally, and the trochanteric line distally
What does the iliofemoral ligament do? Prevents hyperextension of the hip in standing
What does the pubofemoral ligament do? prevents over abduction of the hip
Where does the pubofemoral ligament run to and from? Sup. ramus of pubis to capsule, where it merges
Where does the ischiofemoral ligament run to and from? from the ischial part of the acetebellum to the spot just medial to the greater trochanter
What does the ischialfemoral ligament do? Prevents hyperextension of the hip
Where does the intracapsular ligament run to and from? it runs from the pit on the femoral head to the lower lip of the actebellar notch and transverse actebellar ligament
What does the intracapsualar ligament do? does not provide much stability, but does contain a small artery that feeds the head of the femur with blood.
Name the arteries that supply the hip joint lateral circumflex and femoral arteries, and branch of obturator
Name the nerve supply for the hip joint femoral, obtuator, superior gluteal, and nerve to quadratus femoris
What type of joint is the knee joint? synovial hinge joint
What movements happen at the knee joint? flexion/extension, gliding, rolling, rotation
What are the 3 articulations that happen at the knee joint? the first 2 happen at the tibiofemoral joint ( lat. and med.) the 3rd is at the patellofemoral joint
Where is the suprapatellar bursa located? deep to the quadraceps tendon, may extend as long as 5 cm above the patella
Where is the extracapsular ligament located? distal part of tuberosity, quadraceps tendon, running from apex of patella to tibial tuberosity
What ligament is often used to text reflexes? the extracapsualar ligament
Where is the lateral collateral ligament located? runs fromt the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the lateral surface of the head of the fibula
Where is the medial collateral ligament located? runs from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial condyle of the superior portion of the tibia
Where is the oblique popliteal ligament located? from the medial tibial condyle and goes up and laterally to attach to the central part of the post. fiberous capsule
where is the arcuate popliteal ligament located? runs from the fibular head post. and up medial to post. surface of the knee joint
Anterior cruciate ligament located? runs between the condyles on the tibia to the back of the medial side of the lateral condyle of the femur
What does the ant. cruciate ligament do? prevents post. dislcoation of femur on tibia as well as hyperextension of the knee
Where is the post. cruciate ligament located? runs from the between the 2 condyles on tibia superior and ant. to lateral surface of medial condyle
What does the post. cruciate ligament do ? prevents ant. dislocation of the tibia as well as hyperflexion
Where is both the ant. and post. cruciate ligament located? they both are within the joint capsule, they are outside the synovial cavity
What does the medial meniscus look like? C shaped
what does the lateral meniscus look like? smaller, circular and more mobile
Name the nerves that supply the knee (4) obturator, femoral,tibial, common fibular
What type of joint is the ankle joint? Synovial hinge joint
The articular capsule is... thin ant. and post. and had lots of ligamentous support
The Synovial membrane is ... loose and lines the capsule
Where is the deltoid lig. located? attaches proximally to medial malleous, and attaches distally to tallus, calcaneous, navicular
What are the 4 parts of the Deltoid ligament? 1. tibionavicular 2.ant. tibiotalar 3.post. tibiotalar 4.tibiocalcaneal
What is the function of the arch of the foot? to optimize weight bearing & resiliency, the arches adapt to surface and weight changes
What are the 4 structures that support the arches? 1. the shape of the bones 2. plantar ligaments 3. plantar aponeurosis 4. bracing action of the tendons
What passes through the Sciatic foramina? tendon of obturator internus, nerve to obturator internus
The superficial connective tissue contains loose connective tissue, fat, cutaneous nerves, superficial veins, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes
The femoral triangle contains... femoral nerve, femoral sheath, femoral artery, femoral vein, greater saphenous vein, deep femoral vein
The femoral artery comes from? the external iliac artery
The main branch of the femoral artery happens at... the femoral triangle
The adductor Hiatus is? the opening in the distal aponeurosis of adductor magnus, just proximal to the adductor tubercle of the femur
The superiormedial border of the popliteal fossa is? semimembranosus
The superolateral border of the popliteal fossa is? bicep femoris
The inferomedial border of the popliteal fossa is? medial head of gastrocs
the inferolateral border of the popliteal fossa is? lat. head of gastrocs
The main branch of the femoral nerve is? the saphenous nerve
The femoral sheath is ? a funnel shaped tube made of fascia that extends below the inguinal ligament
What are the 3 components of the femoral sheath? 1. femoral artery 2.femoral vein 3.femoral canal
What is the med. wall of the femoral sheath periced by? the great saphenous vein & lymphatic vessels
What 5 things does the popliteal fossa contain? 1. small saphenous vein 2. popliteal arteries and veins 3. tibial & common fibular nerves 4. popliteal lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels
