:Popliteal Artery
.Starts at the adductor opening .
Ends at lower border of Popliteus. There it divides .
:into
Anterior tibial artery: short and small, supplies the )1
.anterior compartment
Posterior tibial artery: long and large, gives a branch )2
called peroneal artery, which supplies the lateral
compartment. Then posterior tibial artery continues
to supply all posterior compartment, accompanied by
tibial nerve, then descends to supply the sole of foot
.)(inferior surface of the foot
:NOTES
:There are -
invertors of the ankle joint: Tibialis anterior and 2 *
.Tibialis posterior
evertors of the ankle joint: Peroneus longus, brevis, 3 *
.and tertius
:)Foot has 3 arches forming a capital a (A -
Medial longitudinal arch, supported by Tibialis .1
.anterior and tibialis posterior
.Lateral longitudinal arch .2
Transverse arch, horizontal (formed by cuboid and .3
cuniforms, with the tendon of Peroneus longus
.)}passing over {this tendon strengthens the arch
Medial and lateral longitudinal arches meet at a point *
at the apex of letter A, positioned precisely on the
.inferior surface of calcaneum
All muscles of the leg cross 1 joint except 2: -
.Gastrocnemius, and Plantaris
All muscles of the leg originate from fibula, except: -
tibialis anterior and posterior from tibia,
.Gastrocnemius and Plantaris from femur
:About muscles of lateral and anterior compartments -
First of both inserted into 1st metatarsal bone + )1
:medial cuniforms
[ Peroneus longus & Tibialis anterior (both elevate
.the arches of foot) ]
:Last of both inserted into 5th metatarsal bone )2
.[ Peroneus brevis & Peroneus tertius ]
Do you remember the law of muscles?! And how -
Sartorius was an exception. Here are another 2
exceptions … PLANTARIS and GASTROCNEMIUS!!
(Despite crossing 2 joints: knee and ankle, they flex
.both
Like Palmaris longus, Plantaris, is sometimes missing. -
It is considered to be a spare part, used for tendon
.transplantation
All anterior compartment muscles dorsi flex (extend) -
.the ankle joint
All posterior compartment muscles plantar flex (flex)
.the ankle joint
Notice the difference between anterior and posterior(
compartments of both leg and forearm: anterior
compartment muscles are flexors of the forearm,
extensors of the leg. While posterior compartment
muscles are extensors of the forearm, and flexors of
.)the leg
Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will{
elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and
}sit softly on your shoulder :D
