what are the large muscles of the glutes (4)
gluteus maximus
gluteus medius
gluteus minimus
tensor fascia lata
what are the attachments, innervations, and action of the gluteus medius & gluteus minimus
posterior ilium to greater trochanter
superior gluteal nerve
hip ABduction
where does the tensor of fascia lata attach
ASIS, anterior iliac crest TO iliotibial band
what is the innervation and action of the tensor fascia lata
superior gluteal nerve
hip abduction
what are the attachments of the gluteus maximus
posterior ilium, sacrum –> gluteal tuberosity of femur
what nerve innervates glute max
inferior gluteal nerve
action of glute max
hip extension and External rotation
list the names of the 5 smaller muscles of gluteal region
piriformis superior gemellus obturator internus inferior gemellus quadratus femoris
what are the attachments of all 5 minor muscles of glute region
pelvis to femur
action of the 5 minor muscles of glutes
hip external rotation
what are the nerves of the glute region and which muscles do they innervate
inferior gluteal nerve: glute max
superior gluteal nerve: glute med, glute min, tensor fascia lata
what nerve passes through gluteal region but doesn’t innervate muscles in this region
sciatic nerve
the internal iliac artery gives rise to 2 branches that supply the gluteal region called
superior gluteal artery
