oblique view (사위 방향 촬영법
| popliteal muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral condyle of femur; insertion, posterior surface of tibia above oblique line; action, from the fully extended and "locked" position, rotates the femur medially, on the fixed (planted) tibial plateau about 5 |
|---|---|
| popliteal notch | The deep fossa between the femoral condyles in which the cruciate ligaments are attached. Synonym: fossa intercondylaris, intercondyloid fossa, intercondylic fossa, intercondyloid notch, popliteal notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal plane of femur | The posterior surface of the lower end of the femur between the diverging lips of the linea aspera. Synonym: facies poplitea femoris, planum popliteum, popliteal plane of femur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal plexus | Plexus popliteus, a nerve plexus surrounding the popliteal artery, derived from the femoral plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal pterygium syndrome | <syndrome> An inherited condition with a web behind the knee. (a pterygium is a winglike triangular membrane.) (12 Dec 1998) |
| popliteal region | The diamond-shaped space posterior to the knee joint bounded superficially by the diverging biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles above and inferiorly by the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle; deeply, the fossa is bound superiorly by the diverging supracondylar lines of the femur and the soleal line of the tibia inferiorly. Contents: tibial nerve, popliteal artery, vein, fat. Synonym: fossa poplitea, poples, ham, popliteal region, popliteal space, popliteus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal space | The diamond-shaped space posterior to the knee joint bounded superficially by the diverging biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles above and inferiorly by the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle; deeply, the fossa is bound superiorly by the diverging supracondylar lines of the femur and the soleal line of the tibia inferiorly. Contents: tibial nerve, popliteal artery, vein, fat. Synonym: fossa poplitea, poples, ham, popliteal region, popliteal space, popliteus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal surface of femur | The posterior surface of the lower end of the femur between the diverging lips of the linea aspera. Synonym: facies poplitea femoris, planum popliteum, popliteal plane of femur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein formed by the union of the anterior and posterior tibial veins; it courses through the popliteal space and becomes the femoral vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cyst, synovial, of the popliteal space | A swelling in the space behind the knee (the popliteal space). The swelling is composed of a membrane-lined sac filled with synovial fluid that has escaped from the joint. Commonly called Baker's cyst. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, popliteal pterygium | An inherited condition with a web behind the knee. (a pterygium is a winglike triangular membrane.) (12 Dec 1998) |
| synovial cyst, popliteal | A swelling in the space behind the knee (the popliteal space). The swelling is composed of a membrane-lined sac filled with synovial fluid that has escaped from the joint. Commonly called baker's cyst. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lateral popliteal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal divisions of the sciatic nerve, diverging from the tibial nerve at the upper end of the popliteal fossa, then coursing with the biceps tendon along the lateral portion of the popliteal space to wind around the neck of the fibula where it divides into the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The common peroneal nerve, or its deep branch, is the most commonly injured nerve, being located in a lateral subcutaneous position at the fibular neck; a lesion causes a loss of ability to dorsiflex the foot ("foot drop"). Synonym: nervus fibularis communis, nervus peroneus communis, common fibular nerve, lateral popliteal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal external oblique muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, fifth to twelfth ribs; insertion, anterior half of lateral lip of iliac crest, inguinal ligament, and anterior layer of the rectus sheath; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, draws thorax downward; nerve supply, thoracoabdominal nerves. Synonym: musculus obliquus externus abdominis, abdominal external oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal internal oblique muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, iliac fascia deep to lateral part of inguinal ligament, anterior half of crest of ilium, and lumbar fascia; insertion, tenth to twelfth ribs and sheath of rectus; some of the fibres from inguinal ligament terminate in the conjoint tendon; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, flexes lumbar vertebral column (bends thorax forward); nerve supply, lower thoracic. Synonym: musculus obliquus internus abdominis, abdominal internal oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
