Lower Limb – Nerves
1.
By Hilton’s law which nerve does not supply the hip joint
P613 Moore p681 NM, p125 Last’s
a.
nerve to rectus femoris
F
b.
obturator nerve
F
c.
femoral nerve
F
d.
sciatic nerve
F
e.
guteal nerve
T - doesn’t cross joint but does supply hip joint
f.
inferior gluteal
T
2.
Regarding femoral nerve p 529, 530 Moore
a.
Deep and superficial branches of nerve separated by
lateral femoral circumflex artery
T
b.
Nerve runs between pectinues and adductor magnus
?
c.
Runs in adductor canal
F - Saph n (continuation of fem n) does
d.
Origin of nerve is anterior divisions of anterior rami
F - Posterior divisions of rami of L2,3,4 (Obturator n is anterior div’s of L234)
3.
The deep peroneal nerve travels through the lower leg
with which artery p 579 Moore
a.
Posterior tibial
F
b.
Common peroneal
F
c.
Deep peroneal
F
d.
Anterior tibial
T
4.
Which is not a branch of the common peroneal nerve
p582 Moore
a.
superior genicular nerve
F
b.
lateral cutaneous nerve of the calf
F
c.
inferior genicular nerve
F
d.
recurrent genicular
F
e.
sural nerve
F
?? no correct answer. Could say that (e) is best answer since it also receives
supply from tibial n.
FROM Lasts p319:Branches of common fibular before it splits into
superficial and deep are: Superior and inferior genicular nerves,
recurrent genicular, Lateral cutaneous nerve of calf, Sural communicating nerve
5.
With regard to cutaneous innervation of the lower limb
p 529, 602 Moore
a.
Branches of the tibial nerve supply most of the dorsum
of the foot
F - this is largely by superficial fibular nerve going
OVER the extensor retinaculum
b.
The medial plantar nerve supplies a greater area
than the lateral
T - Medial plantar nerve supplies a greater portion of the sole than
does the lateral
c.
Deep peroneal nerve supplies the 3
rd
digital cleft
F - The 1
st
web space
d.
Sural nerve supplies the medial malleolus
F - Saphenous nerve
e.
Superficial peroneal nerve supplies the 1
st
inter-digital cleft F - deep fib does this
