Short Answer

1. retinaculum
2. extensor hood
3. sesamoid bone
4. tendon of flexor hallucis longus
5. relationship of the lateral tarsal artery to the tendons of extensor digitorum longus and brevis?
6. relationship of the dorsal venous arch to the tendons of extensor digitorum longus and brevis?
7. relationship of the short saphenous vein to the posterior boundary of the popliteal fossa?
8. You observe the dorsum of your foot and see that the tendons of extensor digitorum brevis approach the extensor hood from the left side. Which foot are you observing; the left or the right?
9. How is the arterial supply to the lateral compartment of the leg similar to the arterial supply to the posterior compartment of the thigh?
10. The artery of the anterior compartment of the leg is the (blank) artery. This artery branches from the (blank) artery within the (blank) compartment of the leg. This artery courses anterior to arrive in the anterior compartment by passing superior to the superior free edge of the (blank) membrane and inferior to the (blank) ligament. The nerve of the anterior compartment is the (blank) nerve. This nerve branches from the (blank) nerve near the neck of the (blank). Unlike the artery of the anterior compartment, this nerve courses anterior by passing lateral (superficial) to the (blank) of the (blank). Before arriving in the anterior compartment, this nerve must first penetrate the (blank) septum, the (blank) muscles, and then the (blank) septum.
11. The soleus muscle has two heads of origin. The lateral heard arises from the (blank) whereas the medial head arises from the (blank). Between the two heads of origin there is a superior free edge known as the (blank). Passing from the popliteal fossa into the leg immediately anterior to the superior free edge of the soleus muscle is the (blank) nerve and the (blank) artery as they enter the (blank) compartment of the (blank) compartment of the leg.
12. The tibia is limited in superior displacement by the femoral condyles. The fibula is limited in superior displacement by attachments to the tibia. Does this observation reflect the direction of fiber orientation in the interosseous membrane? Beginning with attachment at the tibia, fiber orientation of the interosseous membrane starts (blank) and courses (blank) in a (blank) direction toward the fibula. (The last two blanks are interchangeable).
13. vascularization of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the lateral compartment of the leg.
14. vascularization of the upper, middle, and lower thirds for the three compartments of the leg.
15. vascularization of the upper, middle, and lower thirds for the three compartments of the thigh.
16. vascularization of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the gluteal region.
17. why flexion of the toes is more precise than extension?
18. relations of the pes anserinus
19. assess damage to the common peroneal nerve and its branches?
20. Contrast the course of the blood supply and the nerve supply to the anterior compartment of the leg.
21. The tibial nerve is lesioned at the superior free edge of the soleus. Can the ankle still be flexed (plantar-flexed)? Explain?
