Across
- 2. All muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg are supplied by this nerve. (Hint: can be compressed by tight ski boots or below the knee casts)
- 4. This nerve supplies anterolateral leg and dorsum of foot, except the webbing between great and 2nd toes.
- 5. The gluteus minimus, gluteus medius and tensor fasciae latae muscles are supplied by this nerve. (Hint: only nerve above the piriformis muscle in the greater sciatic foramen)
- 7. The three hamstring muscles include semitendinosus, long head of biceps femoris and this muscle. (Hint: they all attach to the ischial tuberosity, span across two joints and are innervated by tibial division of the sciatic nerve)
- 8. The fibularis longus and brevis muscles perform this action on the foot. (Hint: supplied by superficial fibular nerve)
- 10. This part of the femur is most likely to be fractured.
- 13. This quadrant of the gluteal region is used to give intramuscular injections in order to avoid the sciatic nerve.
- 15. This muscle divides greater sciatic foramen into two parts.
- 16. The tibial tuberosity provides distal attachment for this ligament. (Hint: continuation of the quadriceps tendon)
- 17. The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles share this common tendon.
- 18. All medial compartment muscles of the thigh are innervated by this nerve, except adductor magnus (which is also innervated by the sciatic nerve) and pectineus (which is innervated by femoral and hence is often considered to be part of the anterior thigh). (Hint: it also supplies skin of middle part of medial thigh)
- 19. These type of veins occur when the valves of the superficial veins become incompetent.
- 20. The linea aspera is on this surface of the femur.
Down
- 1. Largest muscle in the body. (Hint: consists of four parts including the rectus femoris and vasti, important for extending knee and flexing hip and is three times stronger than its antagonist muscle group, the hamstrings)
- 3. The inferior gluteal nerve supplies this muscle. (Hint: powerful extensor of hip and laterally rotates thigh)
- 6. The femoral vein passes deep to the inguinal ligament to become this vein.
- 9. The medial malleolus and the inferior surface of the shaft of the tibia articulate with this bone.
- 11. The mid-inguinal point is indicated by this structure.
- 12. The midpoint of the inguinal ligament is indicated by this structure.
- 14. This triangle is bounded by the inguinal ligament superiorly, the adductor longus medially and the sartorius laterally.
- 15. All three deep veins of the leg (anterior tibial, posterior tibial and fibular) drain into this vein. (Hint: it is the direct continuation of the posterior tibial vein at the distal border of the popliteus)
- 21. All muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg are supplied by this nerve. (Hint: this nerve also branches into the medial and lateral plantar nerves to supply most intrinsic muscles of foot)
