3. They have long course. They reach the ham (popliteal fossa)

4.  biceps femoris  semimembranosus  semitendinosus + or - ischial part of the adductor magnus

8.  The muscles of the posterior compartment of the thigh are innervated by the tibial (medial) part of the sciatic nerve Except The short head of the biceps is innervated by a branch of the common peroneal nerve.

9. 1. Extension of hip joint. 2. Flexion of knee joint. 3. semimembranous + semitendinosus: medial rotation of leg. 4. Biceps femoris--- lateral rotation of leg.

12.  thickest nerve in the body  about 2cm in diameter  L4, L5, S1, S2, and S3 Inside the pelvis  Then leave through greater sciatic Foramen, below piriformis.  Descends bet greater troc and ischial tuberosity.

13.  descend to reach popliteal fossa.  it divides into 2 terminal branches - Tibial Nerve (med popliteal) -Common peroneal nerve(lat popliteal).  Level of division is variable.

19. 1- Muscular Branches Long head of biceps femoris Short head of biceps femoris Semitendinosus Semimembranosus Adductor Magnus (hamstring portion)

20. 2- Articular Branches:  To the hip joint  To the knee joint

21. 3- Terminal Branches: Tibial Nerve Common Peroneal Nerve

22. 1. Motor loss: - paralysis of hamstrings---- weakness of flexion of knee. - paralysis of muscles of leg- foot----flail foot, foot drop. 2. Sensory loss: on leg and foot except medial side of leg and foot??

23.  When there's pressure on, or inflammation of, the nerve roots, there's usually a burning or electrical- type pain, which can be accompanied by tingling or numbness in the leg or foot.

25.  Definition.  Boundaries.  Roof.  Floor.  contents

26.  Sup medial : semitendinosus, semimembranosus.  Sup lateral: biceps femoris (B)  Inf medial: medial head of gastrocnemius (MG)  Inf lateral : lateral head of gastrocnemius (LG)+ Plantaris.

27.  Skin.  Superficial fascia: -VEIN---short saphenous vein. -Cutaneous nerve--- post cut n of thigh.  Deep fascia (popliteal fascia).

28. 1. Upper 1/3: popliteal surf of femur. 2. Middle 1/3: capsule of knee joint. 3. Lower 1/3: popliteus+its fascia.

29. From superficial to deep: Tibial nerve Common peroneal nerve. popliteal vein. Popliteal artery. Popliteal Lns. Popliteal fat.

30.  Larger branch.  L4,5,S1,2,3.  Level of origin is variable.  Enters pop fossa at upper angle.  Leaves at lower angle.

31.  Has a triple relation with the pop vessels: 1. Upp part: lateral to pop v. 2. midd part: crosses pop v. 3. Lower part: medial to pop v.  At distal border of popliteus---post tibial n

32.  Branches: 1. Cutaneous: sural n: 2. Muscular: To gastrocnemius, plantaris, soleus popliteus.

33. 3. Articular: Sup med inf med, middle genicular n.

34.  Weakness of plantar flexion.  Weakness of inversion

35.  Only cutaneous branch of tibial n.  Accompanied by small saphenous v.  Between 2 heads of Gastrocnemius.  Peirces deep fascia

36.  Passes behind below lat malleolus  Ends at the lateral side of little toe.

37. Origin  smaller terminal lateral branch of sciatic n L4,5,S1,2. Course & Relations  Enters the fossa at its upper angle.  follows med border of biceps femoris.  leaves fossa at the lat angle of gastrocnemius & soleus.  passes behind head of fibula.

38.  winds laterally around neck of fibula  pierces peroneus longus  deep to peroneus longus  divides into 2 terminal branches  supf peroneal n  deep peroneal n

39.  Branches 1. Cutaneous: a- sural communicating n  joins sural n b- lat cutaneous n of calf  supplies skin on lat side of back of leg 2. Muscular: short head of biceps femoris

44.  Origin: continuation of femoral art as it passes through opening in adductor magnus muscle.  Course: from its origin it runs downwards & slightly laterally in popliteal fossa

45.  reaches lower border of popliteus  terminates by dividing into ant & post tibial arteries

46.  Branches 1. Muscular: supplies surrounding muscles 2. Articular(genicular) : -lat & med sup genicular -middle genicular -lat & med inf genicular

47.  Formed by union of venae comitantes of ant, post tibial arteries.  At the lower border of popliteus.  Enters pop fossa at lower angle.  Leaves at upp angle.  Continues as femoral vein at adductor opening.  Lies bet tibial n and pop a.  TRIBUTARIES: 1- veines accompany arteries. 2- small saphenous v.

48.  Around termination of small saphenous v.  Drain above heel, deep structures of calf.  Drain into deep inguinal LNs.
