meachen Flashcards
shapes of regions on ischial tuberosity
Ischial Tuberosity= has a triangular region and an oval-shaped region
bump on pubic crest
pubic tubercle
sex differences in pelvis: pelvic inlet
oval-shaped or round in females, heart shaped in males
sex differences in pelvis: pelvic outlet
oval shaped in males
-round in females so that they can give birth
sex differences in pelvis: subpubic angle
narrow in males= 30 degrees (approximate w/ peace fingers)
wide in females= approximate w/ thumb and forefinger
sex differences in pelvis
females= have a wider, shorter pelvis, thinner bones
-males have taller, thicker bones in pelvis
q-angle
line from ASIS through midpoint of patella
- draw another line through tibia to form Q-angle
- shape of pelvis affects q-angle
- females have a larger q-angle (15 degrees), 11 degrees in males
- q angles differ due to shape of pelvis
larger q angle
can cause genu valgum, can get patellar dislocation
-some foot orthotics can decrease q angle and therefore genu valgum
location of long and short ligaments in pelvis
long ligaments on posterior side
-short ligaments on anterior side
separates greater and lesser sciatic foramen
sacrospinous ligament
left over vertebrae
transverse ridge of sacrum
left over spinous processes
median ridge of sacrum
left over articular processes
articular (intermediate) ridge of sacrum
left over transverse processes
lateral sacral crests
age that ilium, ischium, and pubis fuse at
13-14
surface where ilium and sacrum attach to each other
auricular surface
body of ilium, ischium, and pubis
in acetabulum
end of iliopectineal line
iliopubic eminence
ASIS muscle attachments
Sartorius muscle, illiacus, tensor fascia lata, and inguinal ligament (it is the origin of these 3 muscles)
AIIS muscle attachments
iliofemoral ligament, straight head of rectus femoris, and part of iliacus (it is these origins of these muscles)
PSIS attachments
posterior sacroiliac ligaments attach
behind posterior gluteal line
anything behind it is part of origin of gluteus maximus
anterior gluteal line
btwn this & posterior gluteal line= origin of gluteus medius
inferior gluteal line
gluteus minimus= originates btwn anterior and inferior gluteal line
ischial tuberosity attachments
semimembranosus muscle, long head of biceps femoris, semitendinosus muscle, adductor magnus, quadratis femoris, and inferior gemellis (also sacrotuberous ligament), origins of all these muscles
ischial ramus attachments
adductor magnus, obturator internus
surface btwn IPR and SPR
symphyseal surface
body of pubis attachments
gracillis, adductor longus, and adductor brevis
superior ramus attachments
pectineus
inferior ramus attachments
gracillis, adductor brevis and magnus, and obturator externus
run through obturator groove
obturator nerve and artery
Psoas major
- action: Flexes hip, flexes lumbar spin
- innervated by L2-L3
- origin= transverse process of lumbar spine
- insertion= lesser trochanter of femur
Psoas minor
- Synergistic muscle w/ psoas major, helps w/ spinal flexion
- origin= upper lumbar vertebrae
- insertion= inguinal ligament, iliac fascia & iliopectineal eminence)
- innervation= L1
Iliacus
-Insert: lesser trochanter of femur)
-action: hip flexion,
innervated by femoral nerve, L2-L4
origin= iliac fossa
