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
