    Study Notes

    Anatomy Midterms 1st Sem

    • The psoas, pectineus, and iliacus muscles insert on the femur, while the sartorius does not.
    • The symphysis pubis and sacroiliac joints articulate the hip bones anteriorly and posteriorly.
    • The pelvic brim forms the true and false pelvis.
    • The cruciate anastomosis connects the external iliac and deep profunda femoris arteries.

    Muscle Actions

    • The popliteus muscle does not assist in knee flexion
    • The 7th and 8th assistant muscles assist the knee in flexion assist
    • The tensor fascia lata and iliotibial band are part of the thigh's deep fascia.
    • The posterior displacement of a lower femoral shaft fragment is due to the adductor magnus, not the gastrocnemius, sartorius, or quadriceps femoris muscles pulling on it.
    • The correct arrangement of structures around the right ankle's anterior aspect, from right to left, is: extensor digitorum longus, dorsalis pedis artery, deep peroneal nerve, and extensor hallucis longus.

    Ligaments and Joints

    • The joint between the femur and tibia is a synovial hinge joint.
    • Tibialis posterior tendon inserts mainly on the talus.
    • The sacrospinous ligament is triangular and prevents upward rotation of the lower sacrum.
    • The sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments convert the sciatic notch to a foramen.
    • The muscles in the posterior thigh compartment that have dual innervation include the semitendinosus.

    Artery and Nerve

    • The medial femoral circumflex artery is part of the trochanteric anastomosis.
    • The superior gluteal artery is not.
    • The femoral artery's branches, including the superficial external pudendal artery, supply the skin of the scrotum or labia majora.

    Additional Details

    • The quadratus femoris muscle is innervated by the nerve to quadratus femoris..
    • The sural nerve is a branch of the tibial nerve..
    • Forced adduction of the tibia on the femur can injure the medial collateral ligament (MCL).
    • The arteries to the vas deferens are a branch of the internal pudendal artery
    • The nerve that supplies the cremaster muscle is the genitofemoral nerve.
    • The nerve that runs under the inferior peroneal retinaculum is the sural nerve.
