Anatomy Origin: Sides of vertebra T12 to L5 and transverse processes of L1 to L5. Insertion: Lesser trochanter of the femur. Key Relations: -The ureter passes along the medial aspect of the psoas major muscle as it enters the pelvis. -Forms the floor of the femoral triangle. -The femoral nerve (L2 to L4) travels through

Motion The proximal tibiofibular joint is a synovial plane joint. The lateral condyle of the tibia articulates with the articular facet of the head of the fibula. It allows very little movement. Slight movement occurs to accommodate the movement of the medial malleolus and fibula during plantar or dorsiflexion of the foot. Stability The fibrous

Functions Secretes alkaline fluid which constitutes ~30% of semen (with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid) and protects sperm against acidic vaginal environment. This fluid is produced constantly, with the excess being expelled in urine. Contains smooth muscles which help project sperm during ejaculation. These muscles also help in involuntary control of urine. Anatomy Complex exocrine
