Lesson 16
cord-like and seperated by bursa
collateral ligament of the fibula
broad and flat and attached to medial meniscus
collateral ligament of the tibial
what two nerves innervate the popliteal fossa
common fibular nerve and tibial nerve
innervation of "quads" are done by what nerve
femoral nerve
posterior femoral muscles are commonly known as
hamstrings
two joint muscles of the posterior femoral muscles is from
ischial tuberosity to the proximal tibia/fibula
medial femoral muscles are oblique muscles located between
lateral pubis and posterior femur
origin of long head and short head of bicep femoris
long head: ischial tuberosity short head: lat. lip linear aspera
what structures are found on the floor of the popliteal?
oblique popliteal ligament and fascia
medial femoral muscles are innervated by what nerve
obturator nerve.
name the medial femoral muscles of the thigh
pectineus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis and obturator externus.
of the 6 muscles of the medial femoral muscle, which muscle is not innervated by the obturator nerve
pectinues muscle.
name of ligament that is a continuation of quadraceps femoris tendon
petalla
what structure ascends anteriorly and inserts on the lateral wall of the medial condyle
posterior cruciate ligament
anterior femoral muscles are commonly known as.........
quads
what muscles are collectively called the quadriceps femoris muslces
rectus femoris,vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis
what muscle has an origin at the ASIS and decends medially to the knee
sartorius
what are the three muslces that make up the pes anserinus
sartorius m, gracilis m, and semitendinosus
name the anterior femoral muscle
sartorius,rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis
name the posterior femoral muscles
semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris
what are the major veins found around the popliteal region?
small saphenous vein and popliteal v
insertion of the pes anserinus muscles is located on
the medial surface of proximal tibia
primarily innervation of the posterior femoral nerve is done by the
tibial division of the sciatic nerve
primarily function of anterior femoral muscle is
to perform knee extension
what structure joins the anterior edges of menisci
transverse ligament.
what are the two muscles on the superior lateral and inferior medial of the bounderies of the popliteal fossa.
Bicep femoris and medial head of gastrocnemius muscle.
medial femoral muscles are commonly referred as
adductors
name the structure that lies anterior and ascends posteriorly to insert on the medial aspect of the lateral condyle
anterior cruciate ligament
