Intro. H Anatomy and Gross Anatomy of Lower Limbs

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. identify the three parts of the pelvic bone and their markings and processes; 2. describe the ends, shaft and bony markings and processes of femur; 3. classify the articular surfaces, type, capsule, ligaments, movements, neurovascular supply and movements of the hip joint; 4. describe the articular surfaces, type, capsule, ligaments, neurovascular supply and movements of the knee joint; 5. identify the arrangement of tarsus, metatarsus and the phalanges; 47 6. describe the articular surfaces, type, capsule, ligaments and movements at the ankle joint, and identify the relatively mobile joints of the foot, the anatomical subtalar, calceno talonavicular and calcenocuboidal joints; 7. state the components, the passive and active supports of the arches of the foot; 8. identify the muscles of gluteal region as functional groups; adductors/lateral rotators, abductors/medial rotators and extensor; 9. identify the anterior communication between the buttock and the pelvic cavity and perineum; 10. explain the neurovasculature of the gluteal region; 11. discuss the attachments, actions and neurovascular supply of the hamstring muscles; 12. discuss the attachments, actions and innervations of the muscles in the anterior and medial thigh; 13. identify the neurovasculature of the anterior and medial compartments of the thigh; 14. enumerate the boundaries and contents of the popliteal fossa; 15. explain the muscles of the three compartments of the leg in terms of attachment, innervation and action; 16. identify the neurovasculature of the popliteal and leg regions; and 17. classify the four layers of intrinsic muscles of the foot and discuss the neurovasculature of the foot.
