LETS GO!!

Factors contributing to the stability of the hip joint include all of the following EXCEPT:

• the acetabular labrum

• the ligaments arising from constituent bones of the pelvis especially the iliofemoral ligament

• the gluteus medius, minimus and tensor fasciae latae

• the pectineus, adductors, gracilis, and piriformis

• the joint is most stable when flexed and adducted

Regarding the popliteal fossa, which of the following is INCORRECT?

• the roof of the fossa is formed by fascia lata and pierced by small saphenous vein and the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve

• the common peroneal nerve disappears into the substance of peroneus longus to lie on the neck of the fibula

• tibial nerve runs along the midline of the fossa and disappears in between the heads of gastrocnemius

• at all levels in the popliteal fossa, the popliteal artery lies between the vein and nerve

• the sural nerve is a branch of the tibial nerve and replaces the posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh halfway down the calf

Damage to the superficial peroneal nerve causes:

• foot drop

• loss of eversion of foot

• a high skipping gait

• loss of inversion of foot

• a shuffling gait

Flexion of the knee joint is affected by all of the following muscles EXCEPT:

• hamstrings

• gracilis

• sartorius

• semitendinosus

• popliteus

Branches of the popliteal artery include the following EXCEPT:

• superior lateral genicular artery

• inferior lateral genicular artery

• middle genicular artery

• descending genicular artery

• superior medial genicular artery

Which muscle is NOT supplied by the obturator nerve?

• adductor longus

• adductor brevis

• . adductor magnus

• . pectineus

• short head of biceps

Regarding the sole of the foot, which statement is INCORRECT?

• only the first lumbrical is unicipital

• flexor digitorum brevis inserts into proximal phalanx of great toe

• axis of abduction and adduction passes through second toe

• transverse head of adductor hallucis has no bony origin

• neurovascular plane lies between first and second muscular layers

Regarding the innervation of muscles in the sole of the foot, which statement is INCORRECT?

• first lumbrical is supplied by the medial plantar nerve

• adductor hallucis is supplied by the lateral plantar nerve

• flexor digitorum brevis is supplied by the medial plantar nerve

• all interossei are supplied by the lateral plantar nerve

• flexor digitorum accessorius is supplied by the medial plantar nerve

Regarding the muscular layers on the sole of foot, which statement is INCORRECT?

• lumbricals lies in second layer

• abductor digiti minimi lies in the first layer

• adductor hallucis lies in third layer

• flexor hallucis brevis lies in first layer

• flexor digitorum accessorius lies in second layer

Regarding the muscular layers on the sole of foot, which statement is INCORRECT?

• lumbricals lies in second layer

• abductor digiti minimi lies in the first layer

• adductor hallucis lies in third layer

• flexor hallucis brevis lies in first layer

• flexor digitorum accessorius lies in second layer
