The document provides information on the anatomy revision session on the upper limb muscles and their functions. Key points covered include identifying the muscles of the upper limb and their nerve supply, orientation and movement terms, and muscles of the forearm, hand, and nerves of the upper limb. There will be pop quizzes to test understanding. The session then reviews muscles of the gluteal region, hip bone anatomy, and the hip joint.

158. Arteries of Posterior Leg
Posterior Tibial Artery: terminal
branch of popliteal artery
Between heads of gastrocnemius
and deep to soleus to run on
surface of TP and FDL
Gives Fibular artery as a branch
Terminates as Medial and Lateral
Plantar arteries in the foot
Fibular artery: runs medial to
fibula, usually within FHL

• Lies between flexor hallucis longus
and flexor digitorum longus at the
ankle jt.
• Gives terminal branches that
supply the sole of the foot: Medial
