|
Where is the popliteus muscle attached? |
To the lateral condyle of the femur to the medial condyle of the tibia |
|
|
What muscle "unlocks" your knee and turns the leg laterally? |
Popliteus |
|
|
What are between the condylar surface of the femur and the condylar surface of the tibia? |
Cartilage pads that are called the menincies |
|
|
How are the meniscies shaped? |
They are C-shaped fibrocartilage pads and they are thicker in the front, back, and sides, but not on the inside. |
|
|
What are the two extra-capsular ligaments? And when are they damaged? |
Lateral/fibular collateral ligament and medial/tibial collateral ligament
When the knee is forced medially or laterally |
|
|
Where is the ACL attached? |
On the anterior portion of the intercondylar eminence. |
|
|
What does the ACL prevent? |
Hyper-extension of the knee |
|
|
Dorsiflexion is actually going to be ______ for the muscle names. |
Extension |
|
|
What are the four primary dorsiflexors? |
1. tibialis anterior 2. extensor digitorum longus 3. extensor hallicus longus 4. fibularis tercius |
|
|
Where is the tibialis anterior attached? |
To the proximal side of the tibia to the medial cuneiform and the first metatarsal |
|
|
Where is the extensor digitorum longus attached? |
To the lateral proximal tibia and fibula to the phalanges (2-5) |
|
|
Where is the extensor hallicus longus attached? |
Attached to the fibula and the big toe |
|
|
Where is the fibularis tercius? |
On the fibula and fifth metatarsal |
|
|
Where does the fibularis longus attach? Innervation? |
It goes under the tarsals and attaches to the bottom of the first metatarsal
Fibular nerve |
|
|
Where does the fibularis brevis attach? |
On the shaft of the fibula |
|
|
The fibular nerve is more concerned with _____________. |
Dorsaflexion |
|
|
The major plantar flexors get __________ innervation. |
Tibial |
|
|
What are the three primary plantar flexors? |
1. gastrocnemius 2. soleus 3. plantaris |
|
|
Where is the gastrocnemius attach? |
To the medial and lateral condyles of the femur to the calcaneus by way of the calcaneal tendon. |
|
|
Where does the soleus attach? |
Tibial and fibular attachments down to the calcaneus |
|
|
Where does the plantaris? |
It is fused with the head of the gastrocnemius |
|
|
Where is the tibialis posterior attached? |
On the proximal tibia and fibula extending down to 2-5 metatarsals |
|
|
Where does the flexor hallicus longus? |
Fibular shaft to the big toe |
|
|
What do the dorsal rami do? |
Innervate the muscles in a segmental pattern that's predictable, the deep muscles of the back |
|
|
What do the ventral rami do? Brachial plexus? roots vs. rami? |
They make the plexuses The roots are either sensory or motor, but roots in the brachial plexus are both sensory and motor, because they're not roots, they are rami. |
|
|
What are the connections off the spinal nerves that go to the symp ganglia called? |
Rami communicantaes |
