Thigh and Popliteal Fossa

1. Name the hamstring muscles. What are the criteria used for identification? What are the action(s) of these muscles?
2. Name 3 hybrid muscles in the lower extremity; these are muscles with 2 nerve supplies.
3. Draw a cross-section of the thigh at mid-length and identify structures (you can trace my picture from lecture or use a picture from a text/atlas).
4. Define the popliteal fossa - boundaries and contents.
5. Define the genicular anastomosis.
6. Provide landmarks for identification of each artery contributing to the genicular anastomosis.
7. Discuss the sural nerve - a drawing (with identification) would be excellent.
8. What is the pes anserinus?
