CORRECT SOLUTIONS!!
Describe the planes of section of the body correct answers Frontal= front/back
Sagittal= R/L
Transverse (axial)= top/bottom
Describe the components of a typical reflex arc correct answers 1. Receptor
2. Sensory (afferent) neuron (carries impulse from PNS to CNS; contains dorsal root and
dorsal root ganglion)
3. Interneuron (carries impulse within CNS)
4. Motor (efferent) neuron (carries impulse away from CNS to PNS; contains ventral root)
5.Target organ
Describe the components of a typical spinal nerve and the function of each component correct
answers -Spinal nerve (mixed n) sends info out to the target organ through dorsal rami or
ventral rami
-motor and sensory combined
-somatic function and autonomic function
-31 pairs (8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 1-3 coccygeal)
Describe the terms: collateral circulation and anastomoses correct answers "Joining of 2
vessels along side each other"
-Functional when they are around a joint
Describe the hip bone, its components and unique features correct answers -ilium= superior
-ischium= posterior/ inferior
-pubis= anterior/ inferior
Describe the sacroiliac joint, its functions and ligaments and their functions correct answers -
sacrum and ilium
-synovial/plane
-ligaments prevent inferior dislocation of sacrum
-sacrotuberous ligament
-sacrospinous ligament
(next to each other; transfer forces from sacrum to acetabulum; prevent rotation of the
sacrum)
Describe the different articulations of the pelvic region correct answers 1. Lumbosacral joint
-L5-S1
-cartilagenous
-Iliolumbar ligament (stabilize L5 on S1)
2. Sacroiliac joint
-sacrum-ilium
-synovial/plane
-sacroiliac and sacrotuberous and sacrospinous
3. Hip joint
,-acetabulum-femur
-synovial/ multiaxial/ ball and socket
-AB/ADduction
-rotation
-strong and stable
Describe the hip joint, its function and ligament correct answers -acetabulum-femur
-synovial/ multiaxial/ ball and socket
-AB/ADduction
-rotation
-strong and stable b/c over 1/2 of the head of the femur is in the acetabulum
-acetabular labrum
-post= ischiofemoral ligament
-ant= iliofemoral ligament ("Y" ligament; limits hip extension)
Describe the gluteal muscles and their daily function correct answers **Action is not daily
function
1. Gluteus maximus
-resist hip flexion
-"power extension" and does lateral rotation of hip
2. Gluteus medius/minimus
-prevent hip ADduction
-does ABduction and medial rotation of hip
3. Tensor fascia lata
-does hip flexion**, ABduction and medial rotation of hip
4. Piriformis
5. Superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus
6. Quadratus femoris
7. Obturator externus
Describe the hip intrinsics and their functions correct answers A: post. sacrum and ischium
B: post. femur
-Action: lateral rotation of femur/hip
-Act as proprioceptors
Describe superficial fascia, deep fascia and their functions correct answers 1. SUPERFICIAL
FASCIA
-fat/H2O
-protective
-route for vessels and nerves
2. DEEP FASCIA
-epimysium
-no fat/H2O
, -surrounds mm
-muscular attachments
-compartmentalizes
List the nerve components of the lumbosacral plexus and their areas of responsibility correct
answers -Ventral rami of L1-S4
-Motor, sensory, and autonomics to skin, and muscles of lateral and ant//inf. abdomen
-L.L. inn= L2-S3
-Most target organs receive innervation from 1+ spinal nerves
1. Obturator nerve
-medial thigh
-hip ABductors
2. Femoral nerve
-ant. thigh
-hip flexors/knee extensors
3. Sciatic nerve
-post. thigh
-hip extensors and knee flexors
-(If this was cut there would be no feeling/movement in the leg and foot)
A. Common fibular nerve
-dorsiflexion of ankle
-superficial and deep
B. Tibial nerve
-plantar flexors of ankle
C. Medial and lateral plantar nerves
**Popliteal region of sciatic n. splits into common fibular n. and tibial n.

2. External iliac a. (L.L.)
(changes names at inguinal ligament)-> "Femoral a."
A. Deep femoral a. (upper thigh)
Femoral a...
(changes names at adductor hiatus) -> "Popliteal a."
3. Popliteal a.
A. Genicular a.
B. Post. Tibial a.
1. Fibular a. (lateral leg)
2. Medial plantar a.
3. Lateral plantar a. (into foot)
