Articulated skeleton of foot: all viva questions

Articulated skeleton of foot: all viva questions

1.       Anatomical  points:

·         1^st metatarsal is shortest and thickest and lies medially

·         Tarsal bones are lies posteriorly

·         Phalanges lie anteriorly

·         Superior surface of talus is directed upwards

2.       Morphological type : tarsal: short bone metatarsal and phalanges : miniature short bone (why call miniature short bone : because it has one epiphysis)

3.       Parts of metatarsal and phalanges bone : base,  shaft and head

4.       1^st metatarsal and all phalanges : epiphysis present at the base

5.       2^nd to 5^th metatarsal : epiphysis present at the head

6.       Ossification  of Articulated skeleton of foot: intra cartilaginous ossification

7.         Identify tarsal bone

8.       Show attachment of following muscles with origin, action and nerve supply :

 tibialis ant and pos , peroneus longus and brevis, FHL,FDL,tendoachilis- how it is formed 

 

Ankle joint	Type: hinge variety of synovial joint Innervation: sural, tibial, saphenous, deep fibular nerves Muscles: tibialis anterior (dorsiflexion), gastrocnemius (plantar flexion)
Inferior (distal) tibial joint	Type : syndesmosis variety of fibrous joint  Muscles: no muscles act on this joint
**Talocalcaneal joint or subtalar joint	Type : plane type of synovial joint Muscles: tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, gastrocnemius, soleus (inversion); fibularis longus, fibularis tertius, fibularis brevis (eversion)
Talocalcaneonavicular joint	Type: ball and socket type of synovial joint Muscles:  tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, gastrocnemius, soleus (inversion); fibularis longus, fibularis tertius, fibularis brevis (eversion)
Calcaneocuboid joint	Type : saddle type of synovial joint Muscles: tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, gastrocnemius, soleus (inversion); fibularis longus, fibularis tertius, fibularis brevis (eversion)
Naviculocuneiform joint	Type : compound joint Muscles: fibularis longus and brevis, tibialis anterior and posterior (gliding, rotation)
Cuboideonavicular joint	Type : syndesmosis variety of fibrous joint Muscles: fibularis longus and brevis, tibialis anterior and posterior (gliding, rotation)
Intercuneiform and cuneocuboid joints	Muscles: Muscles: fibularis longus and brevis, tibialis anterior and posterior (gliding, rotation)
Tarsometatarsal joint	Type : plane variety of synovial joint Muscles: short and long extensors of the toe (flexion, extension);  tibialis anterior, fibularis longus (abduction, rotation)
Intermetatarsal	Plane variety of synovial joint
Metatarsophalangeal	Type : ellipsoid variety of synovial joint Muscles:  flexor digitorum brevis, lumbricales, interossei (flexion);  flexor hallucis longus and brevis (extension);  abductor hallucis, plantar interossei (abduction); adductor hallucis, dorsal interossei, abductor digiti minimi (adduction)
Interphalangeal joints	Type : hinge variety of synovial joint Muscles: flexor digitorum longus and brevis (flexion);  extensor digitorum longus and brevis (extension)
