What is the relationship between the patellar and femoral region?
The patellar region is DISTAL to the femoral region.
Is the popliteal artery proximal or distal to the femoral artery?
It is distal to it....
What muscle is involved with the patellar reflex?
The quadriceps group of muscles. Rectus Femoris more specifically.
Cephalomedullary nailing for proximal femoral fractures?
Cephalomedullary nailing for proximal femoral fractures is an acceptable treatment. However, it requires a high degree of skill. Only a trained orthopedic surgeon should attempt the surgery.
What is a patellar?
Patellar means related to the patella bone. Patella is a sesamoid bone in the front of the knee joint. Terms are used like pre-pattellar or post-patellar. Pre-patellar means proximal to the patella or post patellar means distal to the patella bone. Patellar tendon or patellar dislocation. The expert in the English grammar should comment on the correctness of the term, please.
Is the femoral region proximal to the plantar region?
No, the femur is closer to the head than tarsals
What is the medical term meaning congenital absence of the head?
Proximal femoral focal deficiency.
Is kneecap area is patellar area?
yes
What nerve is tested for patellar reflex?
The Femoral nerve. Wikipedia: Striking the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer just below the patella stretches the quadriceps muscles in the thigh. This stimulates stretch sensory receptors (i.e. muscle spindles) to trigger an afferent impulse in a sensory Ia-nerve fiber of the femoral nerve which synapses (without interneurones) at the level of L4 in the spinal cord, completely independent of higher centres.
The major arteries and veins from the left ventricle to the foot and back to the right atrium?
Proximal to distal (arterial) - aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, (trifurcation to) perneal, anterior and posterior tibial, deep plantar, dorsal digital. Distal to proximal (venous) - dorsal digital, great saphenous, external iliac, common iliac, inferior vena cava Proximal to distal (arterial) - aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, (trifurcation to) perneal, anterior and posterior tibial, deep plantar, dorsal digital. Distal to proximal (venous) - dorsal digital, great saphenous, external iliac, common iliac, inferior vena cava
What nerve is carrying the afferent and efferent impulses during the patellar reflex?
The nerves innervate the quadriceps. The afferent nerves are the muscle spindles and the efferent are the motor neurons.
What is femoral region?
The femoral region is the area of the body that runs along the hip to the knee. Basically, it is the whole thigh area of your leg.
