6.     I. The sartorius muscle, which receives blood from the deep femoral artery,
            can flex the thigh and the leg.

         II. The posterior fibers of the adductor magnus, which receives its primary
            innervation from the tibial nerve, can extend the thigh.
 

7.     I. The pectineus muscle, which attaches to the adductor tubercle, is innervated
            by the femoral nerve.

         II. Both the semimembranosus and semitendinosus can medially rotate the
            flexed leg.
 

8.     I. The gluteus minimus, which attaches to the greater trochanter and is innervated
            by the superior gluteal nerve, can abduct the thigh.

         II. The obturator externus, which is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve,
            is attached to the trochanteric fossa.
 

9.     I. The tibialis anterior is in contact with both the tibia and fibula.

         II. The deep peroneal nerve innervates the peroneus longus.
 

10.     I. The peroneus tertius inserts on the proximal phalanx of the 5 digit of the foot.

         II. The tibialis anterior, which is innervated by the deep peroneal nerve,
            can invert the foot.
 

11.     I. Blood supply for the extensor digitorum longus is from the anterior tibial artery.

         II. The peroneus longus, which can evert the foot, inserts on the fifth metatarsal
            of the foot.
 

12.     I.  The plantaris muscle originates on the lateral condyle of the femur and inserts
            on the medial malleolus.

         II. Flexion of the leg may involve the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps
            femoris, soleus, plantaris and gastrocnemius muscles.
 

13.     I. Cutting the tibial nerve will result in loss of all ability to flex the toes.

         II. The extensor digitorum longus muscle can invert the foot.
 

14.     I. The flexor digitorum longus attaches to the tibia bone and passes posterior
            to the lateral malleolus.

         II. The quadratus plantae muscle is deep to the flexor digitorum brevis muscle.
 

15.    I. The abductor hallucis muscle is superficial to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle.

         II. Looking at the medial malleolus, the proper order of tendons from anterior to
            posterior is: tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis brevis.
 

16.     I. The tendon of the peroneus tertius passes deep to the peroneal retinacula.

         II. The lumbricals of the foot extend the distal phalanges and flex the proximal
            phalanges.
 

17.     I. The abductor digiti minimi, which is attached to the calcaneus bone, is
            innervated by the lateral plantar nerve.

         II.  The flexor digitorum brevis can flex the 5th digit of the foot.
 

18.     I. Cutting the lateral plantar nerve will affect movement of the great toe.

         II. The dorsal interossei muscles abduct toes.
 

19.     I. As part of the cruciate anastomosis, the inferior gluteal artery anastomoses
            with the medial femoral circumflex artery on the posterior side of the femur.

         II. In the cruciate anastomosis, blood from the first perforating branch of the
            femoral artery can flow to a femoral circumflex artery.
 

20.     I.  The descending genicular artery is connected to the medial superior genicular artery.

         II. The femoral artery becomes the popliteal artery at the adductor hiatus, which is
            found in the adductor longus muscle.
 

21.     I. The lateral edge of the femoral triangle is formed by the sartorius muscle and
            just inferior to the inguinal ligament the femoral artery is lateral to the femoral vein.

         II. The common peroneal nerve is made of nerve fibers from L4-S3.
 

22.     I. The lumbricals of the foot attach to the tendons of the flexor digitorum brevis.

         II. The anterior tibial artery can be found lateral to the tibia and medial to the fibula bones.
 

23.     I. The posterior tibial artery ends on the plantar side of the foot.  It bifurcates
            into the medial and lateral plantar arteries.

         II. The deep plantar artery is a branch of the anterior tibial artery.
 

24.     I. Cutting L1-L3 would cause partial paralysis of the adductor magnus muscle.

         II. The lumbar plexus roots lie on the anterior surface of the psoas muscle.
 

25.     I. The superior gluteal nerve and its branches can be found on the deep surface
            of the gluteus medius.

         II. Part of the sciatic nerve runs on the posterior side of the quadratus femoris
            muscle and part of the sciatic nerve runs on the anterior surface of the piriformis muscle.
