Front 1

patella tendon

Back 1

above quad to petella
below- patella lig. goes bone to bone

Front 2

obturator n.

Back 2

splits around adductor brevis into anterior and posterior divison... not important

Front 3

muscles of adductor brevis

Back 3

adductor longus
adductor brevis
gracilis
pectineus
obturator externus
adductor magnus
adductor brevis

Front 4

posterior femoral compartment

Back 4

extensor of thigh/flexor of knee meaning it is biarticular

Front 5

what are the muscles of the posterior femoral compartment

Back 5

hamstring group
-biceps femoris m.
-short head
-long head
-semitendinosus m.
-semimembranosus m.

Front 6

the nerve of the posterior comp. is the

Back 6

tibial n.

Front 7

the except of the posterior comp. is the

Back 7

short head of biceps femoris m. which is of common peroneal n.

Front 8

hamstring groups rules

Back 8

originate from ischial tuberosity
span femur without attachment
supplied by tibial n.
*short head of biceps is not hamstring

Front 9

pes mucles

Back 9

pes anserinus = goose foot
-insertion of muscles on medial surface of tibia resembles the footprint of a goose
sartorius m.
gracilis m.
semitendinosus m.

Front 10

amalgamated thigh muscles

Back 10

biceps femoris
adductor magnus
pectineus m.

Front 11

biceps femoris

Back 11

short head- common peroneal n.
long head- tibial n.

Front 12

adductor magnus

Back 12

ischial part- tibial n.
pubic part- obturator n.

Front 13

pectineus m.

Back 13

semimembranosus m.

Front 15

femoral triangle

Back 15

~4 inches from base to apex
base is superior
-inguinal lig
medial boundary
-adductor longus m.
lateral boundary
-sartorius m.

Front 16

what biarticular m. flexes thigh and knee? is this right?

Back 16

sartorius m.
(and gracilis?)

Front 17

what m. flexes thigh and extends knee?

Back 17

rectus femoris

Front 18

what 3 extend thigh and flex knee?

Back 18

biceps femoris, semitend, semimem

Front 19

gracilis is off of what?

Back 19

pubic part of hip

Front 20

base is superior of femoral triangle with what attached

Back 20

inguinal lig

Front 21

profunda femoral a. is off of wht

Back 21

femoral a.

Front 22

the apex of the femoral triangle is considered the

Back 22

critical point of thigh

Front 23

knee joint is really 3 subjoints

Back 23

2 tibiofemoral joints
1 patellofemoral joint

Front 24

3 c's of knee

Back 24

cruciates (ligaments)
cartilages (menisci)
collaterals (ligaments)

Front 25

what are they called cruciates and what are they

Back 25

cruciates because they cross
ACL
PCL

Front 26

PCL

Back 26

shorter, stronger, stouter
