Study Notes
Nervous System and Plexuses
- Lumbar plexus branches include the obturator nerve and femoral nerve.
- Sacral plexus branches consist of the sciatic nerve, superior gluteal nerve, inferior gluteal nerve, nerve to obturator internus, nerve to quadratus femoris, pudendal nerve, and posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh.
- The function of the lower limb is to support body weight with minimal energy consumption and facilitate locomotion.
Anatomical Structure of the Lower Limb
- The foot has a total of seven joints responsible for its movement.
- There are 5 metatarsal bones in the human foot.
- The pelvic girdle is formed by the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones.
- The bone that forms the thigh is the femur.
- The foot contains a total of 14 phalanges.
- The bones that constitute the leg are the tibia and fibula.
Anatomical Details of Leg and Foot
- The distal segment of the lower limb does not include the patella.
