    Study Notes

    Human Herpesvirus Information

    • Human Herpesvirus 3 is also known as Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV).
    • A common property shared by all herpesviruses is their ability to establish lifelong latency within the host.

    Latency of HSV

    • HSV-1 and HSV-2 reside in the sensory ganglia during latency.

    Primary Infection and Secretions

    • Secretions associated with herpesviruses causing primary infection at an early age include saliva and respiratory secretions.
    • The term used for the first infection by herpesviruses is primary herpes infection.

    Muscular Anatomy

    • The gastrocnemius muscle is responsible for plantar flexion of the foot and flexion of the knee.
    • The popliteus muscle is the smallest and most superior of the deep group muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg.
    • The plantaris muscle has two heads, originating from the distal femur and the posterolateral surface of the lateral femoral condyle.
    • The flexor hallucis longus muscle is responsible for flexing the big toe (hallux).
    • The soleus muscle has an insertion point on the posterior surface of the calcaneus via the calcaneal tendon (Achilles tendon).
