Exam 3 Muscles Flashcards
insertion of external anal sphincter
perineal body
origin of external anal sphincter
skin and fascia surrounding anus and coccyx via anococygeal ligament
Innervation of external anal sphincter
inferior anal nerve
action of external anal sphincter
closes anal canal
works with bulbospongiosus to support and fix perineal body
origin of bulbospongiosus
male: median raphe, ventral surface of bulb of penis and perineal body
female: perineal body
insertion of bulbospongiosus
male: corpora spongiosum and cavernosa and fascia of bulb of penis
female: fascia of corpus cavernosa
innervation of bulbospongiosusf
deep branch of perineal nerve, a branch of pudendal nerve
action of bulbospongiosus
works with external anal sphincter to support/fix perineal body
male: compresses bulb of penis to expel last drops of urine/semen; assists erection by pushing blood into body of penis and compressing outflow veins
female: “sphincter” of vagina and assists in erection of clitoris
origin of the ischiocavernosus
internal surface of ischio-pubic ramus and ischial tuberosity
insertion of ischiocavernosus
crus of penis or clitoris
innervation of ischiocavernosus
deep branch of perineal nerve, a branch of pudendal nerve
action of ischiocavernosus
maintains erection of penis or clitoris by compressing outflow veins and pushing blood into body of penis or clitoris
origin of superficial transverse perineal muscle
internal surface of ischio-pubic ramus and ischial tuberosity
insertion of superficial transverse perineal muscle
perineal body
innervation of the superficial transverse perineal muscle
deep branch of perineal nerve, a branch of pudendal nerve
action of superficial transverse perineal muscle
support and fix perineal body (pelvic floor) to support abdominopelvic viscera and resist increased intra-abdominal pressure.
origin of deep transverse perineal muscle
internal surface of ischio-pubic ramus and ischial tuberosity
insertion of deep transverse perineal muscle
median raphe, perineal body, and external anal sphincter
innervation of deep transverse perineal muscle
deep branch of perineal nerve, a branch of pudendal nerve
action of deep transverse perineal muscle
support and fix perineal body (pelvic floor) to support abdominopelvic viscera and resist increased intra-abdominal pressure
origin of external urethral sphincter
internal surface of ischio-pubic ramus and ischial tuberosity
insertion of external urethral sphincter
surrounds urethra; in males, also ascends anterior aspect of prostate
in females, some fibers also enclose vagina (urethrovaginal sphincter)
innervation of external urethral sphincter
deep branch of perineal nerve, a branch of pudendal nerve
proximal attachment of obturator internus
pelvic surfaces of ilium and ischium; obturator membrane
distal attachment of obturator internus
greater trochanter of femur
innervation of obturator internus
nerve to obturator internus
action of obturator internus
rotates this laterally; assists in hold head of femur in acetabulum
proximal attachment of piriformis
pelvic surface of 2nd and 4th sacral segments: superior margin of greater sciatic notch and sacrotuberous ligament
distal attachment of piriformis
greater trochanter of femur
innervation of piriformis
ventral rami of S1 & S2 (N2OI)
action of piriformis
rotates thigh laterally
abducts thigh
assists in holding head of femur in acetabulum
origin of Levator ani
body of pubis, tendinous arch of obturator fascia, and ischial spine
distal attachment of levator ani
perineal body, coccyx, anococcyeal ligament, walls of prostate or vagina, rectum, and anal canal
innervation of levator ani
Nerve to levator ani (branches of S4) and inferior anal (rectal) nerve and coccygeal plexus
action of levator ani
helps support the pelvic viscera and resists increases in intra-abdominal pressure
origin of coccygeus
ischial spine
distal attachment of coccygeus
inferior end of sacrum
innervation of coccygeus
branches of S4 & S5 nerves
proximal attachment of gluteus maximus
ilium posterior to posterior gluteal line, dorsal surface of sacrum and coccyx, and sacrotuberous ligament
distal attachment of gluteus maximus
most fibers end in iliotibial tract that inserts into lateral condyle of tibia; some fibers insert on gluteal tuberosity of femur
innervation of gluteus maximus
inferior gluteal nerve
action of gluteus maximus
extends thigh (esp. from flexed position) and assists in its lateral rotation; steadies thigh and assists in rising from sitting position.
proximal attachment of gluteus medius
external surface of ilium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines
distal attachment of gluteus medius
lateral surface of greater trochanter of femur
innervation of gluteus medius
superior gluteal nerve
action of gluteus medius
abducts and medially rotates thigh; keep pelvis level when opposite leg is raised.
proximal attachment of gluteus minimus
external surface of ilium between anterior and inferior gluteal lines
distal attachment of gluteus minimus
anterior surface of greater trochanter of femur
innervation of gluteus minimus
superior gluteal nerve
action of gluteus minimus
abducts and medially rotates thigh; keeps pelvis level when opposite leg is raised.
