what are the neurovascular bundles of lateral compartment of leg

perforating vessels of fibular artery, superficial fibular/peroneal nerve

what are the neurovascular bundles of posterior compartment of leg

posterior tibial artery and its venae comitantes, tibial nerve

what are the neurovascular bundles of dorsal compartment of foot

dorsalis pedis and its venae comitantes, deep fibular/peroneal nerve

what are the neurovascular bundles of medial bundle of foot

medial plantar artery and its venae comitantes, medial plantar nerve

what are the neurovascular bundles of lateral bundle of foot

lateral plantar artery and its venae comitantes, lateral plantar nerve

what are the contents of popliteal fossa

popliteal artery and vein, termination of the small saphenous vein, the tibial and common fibular nerve, popliteal lymph nodes and fat.

what are the two major superficial veins in the lower limb

short/small saphenous vein and long/great saphenous vein

small saphenous vein

great saphenous vein

what are the bones in the foot

calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, 3 cuneiforms, metatarsals, phalanges

what forms the ankle joint

distal tibia, distal fibula, talus

what are the lateral ligaments of ankle

anterior talogibular ligament, posterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament

what are the medial collateral ligaments of ankle

posterior tibiotalar, tibiocalcaneal, tibionavicular, anterior tibiotalar

tibial nerve

popliteal artery

termination of the small saphenous vein

popliteal vein

common fibular nerve

obturator nerve

femoral nerve

the obturator and femoral nerve arise from the _____ which is at the level of ___

lumbar plexus, L1-4

sciatic nerve

tibial nerve

deep fibular nerve

common fibular nerve

coracoid prcess of scapula

clavipectoral triangle

what does the anterior axilllary fold contain

pectoralis major muscle

what does the posterior axillary fold contain

latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles

what is located between the anterior and posterior axillary folds

axillary fossa

posterior superior iliac spines

anterior superior iliac spine

pubic tubercle

acromion of scapula

why is the medial meniscus more often torn than the lateral meniscus

it is less mobile due to its attachment to the medial collateral ligament and joint capsule, making itmore vulnerable to rotational forces

what is the shape of menisci in most sagittal sectional views of the knee joint

triangular

name the major extracapsular and intracapsular ligaments of the knee joint

extrascapular: patellar ligament, tibial collateral ligament, fibular collateral ligament, oblique popliteal ligament, arcuate popliteal ligament

Infrascapular: anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament
