Document Summary
Phalanges: how many do you have - 14. Anterior superior iliac spine point on each side. Medial condyle of tibia on medial side - distal aspect boney ridge transversely across area. Iliotibial tract it band comes from ilium goes to the tibia. In leg fascia lata, crural fascia, tensor fasciae latae. Deep fascia: is especially strong, investing limb like an elastic stocking. This fascia limits outward extensions of contracting muscles, making muscular contraction more efficient in compressing the veins to push blood toward the heart. The deep fascia of the thigh is called fascia lata (l. lata, broad). The fascia lata attaches to and is continuous with: The inguinal ligament pubic arch, body of pubis, and pubic tubercle superiorly. The membranous layer of subcutaneous tissue (scarpa fascia) of the inferior abdominal wall also attaches to the fascia lata just inferior to the inguinal ligament: the iliac crest laterally and posteriorly.
