Anterior Compartment Muscles
This nerve innervates all anterior compartment muscles
What is the femoral nerve
Name the 6 medial compartment muscles
What is obturator externus, pectineus, adductor (brevis, longus, magnus), and gracilis
These are the contents of the adductor canal
What is the femoral artery and vein and saphenous nerve
These are the 2 main thigh arteries
External iliac artery and femoral artery
This nerve innervates the medial compartment of the thigh
What is the obturator nerve
This muscle is the joining of psoas major and iliacus inferior to the inguinal canal
What is the iliopsoas
This is the adductor muscle action
These structures form the adductor hiatus
What is the adductor magnus and femur
This is where the femoral artery changes the name from the external iliac
WHat type of tissue is the fascia lata
What is tight connective tissue
Originates from the anterior superior iliac spine and inserts at the medial surface of the body of the tibia
This is the insertion of obturator externus
These are the contents of the femoral triangle
Femoral nerve (saphenous nerve), femoral sheath (femoral artery, profunda femoris, femoral vein)
Explain where the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries run from
Medial: runs posteriorly between pectineus and iliopsoas
Lateral: runs posterior to rectus femoris
Name the hamstring muscles
What is long head of biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus
These arteries vascularize the rectus femoris
What is the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the profunda femoris artery
This muscle originates from the superior pubic ramus and inserts at the pectineal line of femur
what is the pectineus
This kind of fracture may result in a condylar misalignment
What is a distal fracture
This anastomosis and artery branch supplies the femoral neck & trochanter
Anastamosis of lateral & medial femoral circumflex artery and branch of deep femoral artery
This grade of hamstring strain results in a partial tear
What is grade 2
Name the 3 vastus muscles and their movements
Vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis all extend the leg at the knee
This is the origin, insertion, vascularization, and movement of gracillis
Origin: inferior pubic ramus
Insertion" body of tibia
Vasc.: profunda femoris and medial circumflex femoral artery
Movement: adduct and medially rotates thigh at hip joint, flexes leg at knee
Name the superficial landmarks of the booty and what they are formed by
Natal cleft (superficial fascia anchored to sacrum and coccyx) and Gluteal fold (formed by inferior border of gluteus maximus)
Name the 5 main branches of the femoral artery
Superficial circumflex iliac, superficial epigastric, external pudendal, profudna femoris (medial/lateral circumflex), perforating arteries
what is posterior
