Document Summary

Topic 8 muscles of the lower limb. Innervation is quite straight forward - nerve to each compartment: compartments are often named based on what they do, 5 compartments, transverse section, gluteus maximus identifies posterior side. Nerve plexuses: 2 plexuses responsible for this region, do(cid:374)"t (cid:374)eed to k(cid:374)ow this plexus i(cid:374) as (cid:373)uch detail, but know these nerves and where they come from. Sciatic nerve: gluteal nerves, common fibular nerve, tibial nerve. The iliopsoas group: named after the prime muscle of this group, hip flexor group, these are big hip flexors, 3 primary muscles that combine into one, 3 parts, psoas major and minor, and the iliacus, psoas muscles: Long muscle: attach to the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae. Sartorius: originates on the asis, distally crosses the knee joint, attaches to a unique spot - the gooses foot. Located on the medial tibia: common innervation - the femoral nerve.
