Question
Answer
name the quadricep muscles   rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius  
🗑
vastus medialis origin, insertions (2)   o: linea aspera of femur, medial line i: base of patella, tibial tuberosity via patellar tendon  
🗑
vastus medialis action   knee extension (leg)  
🗑
vastus lateralis origin, insertions (2)   o: linea aspera of femur, lateral line i: base of patella, tibial tuberosity via patellar tendon  
🗑
vastus lateralis action   knee extension (leg)  
🗑
name the hamstring muscles   biceps femoris,semitendinosus, semimembranosus  
🗑
action of the hamstring muscles in relation to the knee/ankle/foot segment   knee flexion (leg)  
🗑
gastrocnemius origins (2), insertion   o: lateral supracondylar ridge of the femur, medial supracondylar ridge of the femur i: calcaneus (achilles)  
🗑
gastrocnemius actions   knee flexion (leg), plantar flexion (ankle)  
🗑
peroneus longus origins (2), insertions (2)   o:head of fibula, superior 2/3 of fibula shaft, lateral surface i: lateral tuberosity of 1st metatarsal, medial (1st( cuneiform  
🗑
peroneus longus actions (2)   ankle eversion plantar flexion  
🗑
tibialis anterior origins (3), insertions (2)   o: lateral epicondyle of tibia, superior 1/2 of tibial shaft antero lateral surface, interosseus membrane i: medial cuneiform, base of 1st metatarsal  
🗑
tibialis anterior actions   dorsiflexion, ankle inversion  
🗑
abductor hallucis origin, insertion   o: calcaneus tuberosity, medial process (medial tubercle of calcaneus) i: base of proximal phalange 1, medial surface  
🗑
abductor hallucis action   hallux (big toe) abduction  
🗑
flexor digitorum brevis origin, insertion   o: calcaneus tuberosity, medial process (medial tubercle of calcaneus) i: medial phalanges 2 - 5 plantar surface  
🗑
flexor digitorum brevis action   toe flexion  
🗑
abductor digiti minimi pedis origin, insertion   o: calcaneus tuberosity, lateral process i: base of 5th proximal phalange, lateral surface  
🗑
abductor digiti minimi pedis action   lillte toe abduction  
🗑
the functional unit of the knee is made up of what 3 bones   femur, tibia, patella  
🗑
movements allowed at the knee   flexion, extension  
🗑
name the ligaments of the knee   medial and lateral collateral ligaments, anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments  
🗑
collateral ligaments   are located on each side of the knee, run parallel, and are stabilizing  
🗑
cruciate ligaments   extend from the head of the tibia to the femur. The ACL is lateral and the PCL is medial, criss-cross each other in opposite directions and prevent the femur from rolling off the tibia  
🗑
cartillage of the knee   meniscus  
🗑
functions of the meniscus   shock absorption, congruence (fit between femur and tibia)  
🗑
the functional unit of the ankle is made up of what 3 bones   tibia, fibula, talus  
🗑
movements possible at the ankle   dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, eversion  
🗑
malleolus   bony prominences of the ankle, formed by the fibula (lateral malleolus) and the tibia (medial malleolus)  
🗑
mortise   the cup shape formed by the distal ends of the tibia and fibula, creating a shape for the talus  
🗑
interosseous membrane   the stabilizing structure of fibrous tissue connecting the fibula and tibia  
🗑
the foot is formed by what bones   tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges  
🗑
how many tarsals metatarsals and phalanges per foot   3 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, 14 phalanges  
🗑
the 3 tarsal bones   talus, calcaneus, cuneiform  
🗑
talus   bone of the ankle that articulates with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint, no muscle attaches directly on it  
🗑
calcaneus   forms the heel bone, takes up most of the posterior aspect of the foot  
🗑
cuneiform   3 bones between the tarsals and metatarsals: lateral (3rd) cuneiform, intermedial (2nd) cuneiform, medial (1st) cuneiform  
🗑
metatarsals   5 in each foot, numbered 1 to 5 from big toe (hallux or 1st metatarsal) to the pinky (5th metatarsal), have a base, shaft and head  
🗑
phalanges   14 per foot, the big toe has two and all others have 3 - distal, medial, proximal  
🗑
arches   formed by tarsals and dome-shape of metatarsals under the foot, have a medial and lateral longitudinal arch, as well as a transversal arch, allows for better shock absorption and spring  
🗑
the quadriceps all share the same ____   insertion, base of the patella and tibial tuberosity via the infrapatellar tendon  
🗑
action of the quadriceps on the knee   extension of the knee  
🗑
the hamstrings all share the same ____   origin - ishial tuberosity of the coxal bone  
🗑
action of the hamstrings on the knee   knee flexion  
🗑
the muscles of the foot all share the same ____   origin - calcaneus  
🗑
