This example wants to know, based on the anatomical terms, where do you think the following injuries affect? And first up, we have a) plantar fasciitis. Take a second for that one. Alright, plantar. Remember, I plant my feet on my planter region, so the plantar region is the bottom of the foot.
Now, you don't need to know the rest of this for this unit, but fascia is connective tissue that surrounds muscles, binds muscles, and connects muscles to other things. So, plantar fasciitis is a painful condition of the fascia on the bottom of the foot, making it really painful to walk or sometimes even stand. Next up, we have a fascia cruris tear. See if you know that one. Alright.
Keyword, crural. Remember, you have your crural and sural region. I said remember those together. Crural and sural both relate to the lower leg, the place between the ankle and the knee. C comes before S, so it's that whole region.
Sural, S comes after C, so it's just the back. So the cruris, we're talking about that whole lower leg. The fascia cruris is the connective tissue that separates the major muscles of your lower legs, for example, your calf from the muscles of the front of your leg. Alright. Next up, we have patellar tendinitis.
See if you know that one. Alright. Patellar, your patella is your kneecap. So patellar is the front of the knee, and tendinitis is just a painful condition of the tendons. You have a patellar tendon that connects your quad muscle to your kneecap to the front of the lower leg.
And then finally, we have a popliteal cyst. See if you know that one. Alright, remember, I like to say my knee pops. Popliteal is the back of the knee. So, that's a cyst in the back of the knee.
I guess you can pop a cyst too. That's kind of gross. Alright. We have more practice problems below, and I'll see you in the next video.
