Motions
Biceps femoris (long head), semitendinosus, and semimembranosus form the hamstring muscle group, which performs knee ______.
flexion
Together, gastrocnemius medial head, gastrocnemius lateral head, and soleus are called _____, which means "three-headed calf" muscle.
triceps surae
The largest tarsal bone is the _______.
calcaneus
The femoral artery branches off the ______ artery.
external iliac
The sciatic nerve splits into the _____ nerve and the tibial nerve.
common fibular
This muscle is the prime mover for great toe flexion:
flexor hallucis longus
The sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus come together to form the ____ muscle group, which means "goose foot."
pes anserine
The medial malleolus is on which bone?
tibia
A common site to take a pulse on the foot is the _____ artery.
dorsalis pedis
The common fibular nerve splits into the ______ nerve and the deep fibular nerve.
superficial fibular
The main action of this muscle is to "unlock" the knee for knee flexion.
popliteus
The muscle tendon that runs behind the lateral malleolus is the _______.
fibularis brevis
The tibia articulates with which tarsal bone?
talus
The dorsalis pedis artery branches off the _____ artery.
anterior tibial artery
The medial plantar nerve and lateral plantar nerve branch off the _____ nerve.
tibial
Because of the position of attachment at the lateral aspect of the leg, down to the foot, ______ longus and brevis help with foot eversion.
fibularis
The superficial layer of muscles on the plantar surface of the foot include the abductor hallucis muscle and the _____ muscle.
flexor digitorum brevis
Digit 1 of the foot has __ phalanges.
two - proximal phalanx and distal phalanx
The ____ artery runs behind the medial malleolus.
posterior tibial
The ____ nerve innervates the tibialis anterior.
deep fibular
Ankle __________ is a combination of plantar flexion, inversion, and adduction.
supination
The stirrup of the foot is formed by the fibularis longus and _____ muscle (two muscles that attach on the first cuneiform).
tibialis anterior
The articulation between the proximal phalanx and distal phalanx of digit 1 is called the _____ joint.
interphalangeal
The longest vein in the body, which drains into the femoral vein is called the _______ vein.
great saphenous
Compression of the _____ nerve by the fibular head can result in foot drop.
common fibular nerve
