question	answer
the most powerful and largest muscles in the body are those of the ___.	lower limb
fascia lata	deep fascia of the thigh, encircles the thigh muscles
relate the fascia lata	like a supportibe stocking and tightly binds them
function of fascia lata	partitions the thigh muscles into compart, each with own blood and nerve supply
name the compartments of the thigh.	anterior, lateral, posterior, medial
anterior compart of thigh contains?	muscles taht extend the knee or flex the thigh
the muscle of the lateral compartment ____ the thigh	abducts
most muscles of the posterior compar	act as both flexors of the knee and extensors of the thigh
muscles of the medial comp. act as	adductors of the thigh
most of the muscles that act on the thigh originate	on the os coxae
the muscles that originate on the os coxae do what?	stabilize the highly moveable coxal joint and support body during walking, standing
coxal joint	acetabulofemoral jnt
a majority of the muscles that move the thigh at the coxal jnt originate on the ______ and insert on the ____	pelvic girdle, femur
thigh flexors	muscles of the anterior thigh compartment
thigh flexor muscles	sartorius, quadriceps femoris muscles.
thigh adductors	medial thigh compartment muscles
thigh adductors muscle	gracilis
thigh abductors	lateral thigh compartment
thigh abductor muscle	tensor fasciae latae
posterior thigh compartment muscles	gluteus maximus, piriformis and hamstring muscles
longest muscle in the body	sartorius (thigh flexor)
what muscle enables cross legged sitting?	sartorius (thigh flexor)
where is sartorius located?	crosses over anterior thigh
the _____ muscle of the quadriceps femoris muscles group, helps flex the thigh in addition to moving the knee joint/leg.	rectus femoris
what attaches to the iliotibial tract (band)?	tensor fasciae latae
iliotibial tract (band).	lateral thickening of the fascia lata
where is the iliotibial tract (band) located?q	extends from teh iliac crest to the lateral condyle of the tibia
largest and heaviest of the three gluteal muscles	gluteus maximus
what is the chief extensor of the thigh	gluteus maximus
common site for IM	gluteus maximus, and deltoid
piriformis is located where?	deep to the gluteus maximus, laterally rotate the thigh/coxal joing
example of piriformis action.	when the legs are crossed with one ankle resting on the knee
what is a negative action of the pirifomis?	can cause pressure on a major nerve that runs down the back of the thigh
the anterior (extensor) compartment of the thigh ic composed of?	quadriceps femoris
pime mover of knee extension	quadriceps femoris
most powerful muscle of the body	quadriceps femoris
quads`	quadriceps femoris
the quadriceps femoris muscles have spearate origins, but a ...	common insertion on the patella via quadriceps tendon
the quadriceps tendon	is continuous over the patella and becomes the patellar ligament as it attch to the tibial tuberosity
how is the quadriceps tendon become the patellar ligament	as it attchs to the tibial tuberosity on the proximal anterior region of the tibia
name the thigh muscles located in the extensor (anterior) compartment.	rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, sartorius
medial (adductor) compartment of thigh contains?	gracilis
posterior (flexor) compartment of the thigh contains	biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus (three hamstring muscles)
how did the hamstring muscles gain their name?	bc a ham is strung up by the tendons of these muscles while being smoked
what is the function of the hamstring muscles?	flex the knee joint/leg and are antagonistic to the quadriceps femoris muscles.
the hamstrings hav a ____ origin and ___ insertions	common, different
biceps femoris	tow headed muscle inserts on t he lateral side of leg, palpated at the laterael margin of the popliteal fossa
semimembranosus	deep to the semitendinosus and inserts on the medial side of the leg. it's tendon of insertion palpated at the medial margin of the popliteal fossa
semitendinosus	superficial to the semimembranosus and inserts on the medial side off the leg. creates the most prominent medial lip of the popliteal fossa.
gastrocnemius	spans the knee joint and flexes the knee/leg
crural muscles	muscles that move the ankle, foot, and toes
what are the three crural compartments	anterior, lateral and posterior
what partitions the leg into three compartments?	deep fascia, each with its own nerv and blood supply
what portion of the tibia lacks muscle attachment?	anterior
function of the anterior compart muscles?	dorsiflex the foot and or extend the toes
tendons of the muscles within anteriorr crural compartment are held tightly against the ankle by?	extensor retinaculum
extensor retinaculum	multiple deep fascia thickenings (ankle).
primary dorsiflexor of the foot at the ankle?	tibialis anterior
name the muscle of the anterior compart	tibialis anterior
muscles of the lateral compartment of the leg.	peroneus (fibularis) longus
posterior crural compartment is composed of what two muscles?	gastrocnemius, soleus
gastrocnemius	most uperficial crural muscle, two thick bellies that form the calf
soleus	broad, flat musscle, deep to the gastocnemius, resembles a flat fish
gasstrocnemius and soleus are collectively known as the	triceps surae
the most powerful planter flexors of all the leg muscles	triceps surae
the triceps surae share a common tendon of insertion called the	calcaneal (achilles) tendon
achilles tendon	calcaneal tendon
severe cases of compartment syndrome may require	decompression fasciotomy
don't use ___ when compartment syndrome is suspected	compression
intrinsic muslces of the foot both ___ and ____ within the foot.	originate, insert
function of the intreinsic muscle of the foot.	support he arches and move the toes to aid locomotion
the plantar surface of the foot is supported by the	plantar aponeurosis
where is the plantar aponeurosis formed?	from the deep fascia of the foot
where is the plantar aponeurosis found?	extends between teh phalanges of the toes and the calcaneus, encloses the plantar muscles of the foot
