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
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
Anatomy A gyrus located anterior to the central sulcus. It extends anteroinferiorly from the great longitudinal fissure and ends just above the lateral sulcus. It forms part of the frontal lobe. Blood supply: Supplied by the middle cerebral artery, and medially by the anterior cerebral artery, to a lesser extent. Functions Is the location of
Anatomy Course Branches from the radial artery, just as the radial artery is veering medially to become the deep palmar arterial arch. It travels towards the thumb between the first dorsal interosseous artery and the adductor pollicis muscle. Supply Main blood supply to the thumb.

Functions Draws medial border of eyebrows inferiorly resulting in transverse wrinkles over the bridge of the nose. e.g. as in an expression of anger.. Supply Nerve Supply: Zygomatic
Anatomy Course Branches from the brachial artery about a third of the way along the humerus. It enters the posterior compartment of the arm with the radial nerve, passing through the space made by the lateral margin of long head of the triceps, the inferior margin of teres major and the shaft of the humerus.
