puborectalis, pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus

100

What is the function of retinacula?

prevent bowstringing of tendons
200

What are the muscle attachments of Gastrocnemius?

Proximal = posterior parts of femoral condyles, knee joint capsule

Distal = posterior surface of calcaneus (via calcaneal tendon)

200

What is the movement of upper limb during gait?

Upper limb swings forward with contralateral lower limb.

200

What nerve(s) innervate adductor magnus?

obturator nerve (adductor part)

sciatic nerve (hamstring part)

200

The femoral artery changes from external iliac artery when?

inguinal ligament

200

What is the functions of the plantar aponeurosis/fascia?

- Binds the skin of the foot

- Provides an attachment site for foot muscles

- Helps to maintain foot arches

300

What are the muscle actions of Tibialis Anterior, Extensor Digitorum Longus, Extensor Hallucis Longus?

TA - ankle dorsiflexion, foot inversion

EDL - ankle dorsiflexion, extension of toes 2-5 (all joints)

EHL - ankle dorsiflexion, extension of hallux (all joints)

300

During terminal stance, what is the contraction of the hip? (muscle group and type of contraction)

Hip flexors eccentrically contracting

300

Describe the course of the tibial nerve?

Separates from sciatic nerve around popliteal fossa

Passes posteriorly to medial malleolus in tarsal tunnel

Separates into medial and lateral plantar nerve in plantar aspect of foot

300

Muscles of perineum has what nerve innervation?

pudendal nerve with some input from nerve to levator ani

300

Fully classify the sacroiliac joint?

anteriorly = synovial, non-axial, plane

posteriorly = fibrous

400


abductor hallucis

-abducts 1st digit at MTP joint

-flexes 1st digit at MTP joint

400

During mid stance, what is the action, type of contraction and muscle group at each joint?

Hip - extending, concentric, hip extensors

Knee - extending, concentric, knee extensors

Ankle - dorsiflexing, eccentric, ankle plantarflexors

400

Explain the main components of a spinal segment? (dorsal root, spinal nerve, etc)

spinal cord = carries nerve impulses down toward limbs

dorsal root = carries sensory information

ventral root = carries motor information

spinal nerve = combination of dorsal + ventral roots

dorsal ramus = supplies skin and muscles of back

ventral ramus = supplies limbs + anterolateral trunk

400
