    The key takeaways are the anatomical structures and innervation of the lower limb.

    The structures that pass through the greater sciatic foramen are the piriformis muscle, sciatic nerve, inferior gluteal nerve, superior gluteal nerve, pudendal nerve, superior gluteal artery and vein, inferior gluteal artery and vein, and internal pudendal artery and vein.

    The branches of the internal iliac artery are the superior gluteal artery, inferior gluteal artery, and obturator artery.

    1. When does the lower limb bud appear relative to
    the upper limb bud? Card Set
    lower limb bud appears 2 days after the upper limb lower limb
    bud Description
    lower limb wk4 blk4

    2. How do the upper and lower limbs rotate during Updated


    development? 4/6/2011, 10:55:41 AM

    lower limb rotates medially, upper limb rotates laterally Show Answers

    3. deep fascia of the thigh


    fascia lata
    contains saphenous opening, where great
    saphenous vein joins the femoral vein

    4. deep fascia of the leg


    crural fascia
    separates into anterior, lateral, posterior
    posterior compartment subdivides into superficial
    and deep layer

    5. deep fascia of the ankle and foot


    ankle: superior and inferior extensor retinaculum,
    flexor retinaculum, superior and inferior fibular
    retinaculum
    foot: dorsum has thin fascia, plantar fascia is thin
    over muscles and thickens centrally -> plantar
    aponeurosis

    6. Branches of internal iliac


    superior gluteal: thru greater sciatic foramen sup
    to piriformis
    inferior gluteal: thru greater sciatic foramen inf to
    piriformis
    obturator: thru obturator canal to middle thigh

    7. External iliac
    becomes femoral artery below inguinal ligament
    gives off profunda femoris
    goes thru adductor canal to popliteal fossa,
    becomes popliteal artery
    anterior and posterior tibial arteries given off by
    popliteal
    posterior tibial artery gives off fibular artery

    8. lumbar plexus
    I saw icy icky geese looking forward onto london
    Iliohypogastric (L1)
    Ilioinguinal (L1)
    Genitofemoral (L1-2)
    Lateral femoral cutaneous (L2-3)
    Femoral (L2-4)
    Obturator (L2-4)
    Lumbosacral trunk (L4-5)

    9. femoral nerve
    innervates iliacus muscle and pectineus muscle
    all muscles of the anterior compartment of the
    thigh
    cutaneous branches to the anterior thigh, medial
    leg, medial foot

    10. obturator
    thru obturator canal
    innervates most muscles of medial compartment
    of thigh
    skin on medial aspect of thigh

    11. lateral femoral cutaneous


    ilioinguinal
    femoral part of genitofemoral
    skin on lateral thigh
    skin on upper medial thigh
    skin on upper medial thigh
    12. sacral plexus
    formed by lumbar trunk and spinal nerves S1-4
    superior gluteal nerve - thru greater sciatic
    foramen
    inferior gluteal nerve - thru greater sciatic foramen
    posterior femoral cutaneous nerve - skin on
    posterior thigh and inf gluteal region
    sciatic nerve (largest branch) - tibial nerve
    (posterior compartment of thigh and leg, plantar
    surface), common fibular nerve aka peroneal
    (anterior and lateral compartment of leg
    pudendal nerve

    13. dermatome pain


    L2-3: anterior/mid-thigh
    L4: knee and middle malleolus
    L5: web between 1st and 2nd toe
    S1: lateral malleolus

    14. Motor deficiencies in radiculopathy


    L2-4: knee extension, hip adduction
    L5: ankle dorsiflexion, big toe extension
    S1: ankle plantar flexion, knee flexion, hip flexion

    15. Which nerve innervates the medial thigh


    compartment?
    Obturator

    16. Which nerve innervates the anterior thigh


    compartment?
    femoral nerve

    17. Which nerves innervate the gluteal region?


    superior and inferior gluteal nerves

    18. Innervation to posterior thigh


    tibial nerve

    19. Innervation to lateral compartment of the leg?


    Common fibular nerve (peroneal) thru superficial fibular
    nerve branch

    20. Innervation to anterior compartment of leg?


    common fibular nerve (pudendal) thru deep fibular
    nerve branch

    21. primary innervation to the foot?


    tibial nerve

    22.
    23.

    24.
    25. femoral triangle
    base: inguinal ligament
    medial side: adductor longus
    lateral side: sartorius
    floor: iliopsoas and pectineus
    roof: tensor fascia lata
    femoral VAN goes thru, great saphenous vein

    26. femoral sheath


    lateral: femoral artery
    intermediate: femoral vein
    medial compartment: lymphatic
    femoral nerve not enclosed!

    27. structures that pass thru greater sciatic foramen


    piriformis muscle
    sciatic nerve, inf gluteal nerve, superior gluteal
    nerve, pudendal nerve
    superior gluteal artery/vein, inf gluteal A/V,
    internal pudendal A/V

    28. structures that pass thru the lesser sciatic foramen


    obturator internus tendon, pudendal nerve, internal
    pudendal a/v (to the perineum)
