2.0.28.53 Muscles of the Anterior and Posterior Leg
In medical transcription, the legs are rarely referred to as such. They are instead called the lower extremities. (The arms are likewise called the upper extremities.) An extremity is simply the name for a limb. You should notice, as with the arm muscles, that there are several descriptive terms in "Muscles of the Anterior and Posterior Leg" which should be familiar by now, such as longus, brevis, hallucis, and maximus. Take just a moment to find any terms which you already know. There are also a few terms listed on this image which are not muscles, although they are vital to the musculoskeletal systemespecially the lower extremities. The first of these is the lateral malleolus. Lateral, of course, means side, and a malleolus is a rounded process. The lateral malleolus is the protuberance found on either side of the ankle joint. The medial malleolus is likewise a bony protuberance, but is found in the middle of the joint. The second term is the calcaneal or Achilles tendon. It is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body. You have already learned that tendons are fibrous cords by which muscle is attached. (If you are into mythology, the Achilles tendon is named for the Greek fighter Achilles. He was immortal and invulnerable except for the spot on his heel where he was held as he was dipped into the river water which turns mortals into gods. It was this area that was pierced by an arrow during the Trojan War, and this wound caused his death.) The extensor retinaculum covers and holds in place the muscles and tendons of the front of the foot. The tibia is a bone. The greater trochanter, also called trochanter major, is a broad, flat process to which several muscles are attached. Finally, the iliotibial tract is a thick, long band of fascia lata which extends down the side of the thigh to the tibia. All of these terms will come up frequently in medical transcription, and you should be able to recognize and spell them. EXERCISE Label the leg muscles by clicking on each number in the figure below. A box will appear with a space in which you should type the corresponding term found on the figure. I made these up.They are from figure 2.7 1-28 Word #1.tensor fasiae |
