MOINA of Gluteal and Thigh Region Flashcards
(108 cards)
origin of gluteus maximus
outer surface of ilium, sacrum, coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament
insertion of gluteus maximus
iliotibial tract and gluteal tuberosity of femur
nerve supply of gluteus maximus
inferior gluteal nerve
action of gluteus maximus
extends and laterally rotates hip joint; through iliotibial tract, it extends knee joint
origin of gluteus medius
outer surface of ilium
insertion of gluteus medius
lateral surface of greater trochanter of femur
nerve supply of gluteus medius
superior gluteal nerve
action of gluteus medius
abducts thigh at hip joint; tilts pelvis when walking to permit opposite leg to clear ground
origin of gluteus minimus
outer surface of ilium
insertion of gluteus minimus
anterior surface of greater trochanter of femur
nerve supply of gluteus minimus
superior gluteal nerve
action of gluteus minimus
abducts thigh at hip joint; tilts pelvis when walking to permit opposite leg to clear ground
origin of tensor fasciae latae
iliac crest
insertion of tensor fasciae latae
iliotibial tract
nerve supply of tensor fasciae latae
superior gluteal nerve
action of tensor fasciae latae
assists gluteus maximus in extending the knee joint
origin of piriformis
anterior surface of sacrum
insertion of piriformis
upper border of greater trochanter of femur
nerve supply of piriformis
first and second sacral nerves
action of piriformis
lateral rotator of thigh at hip joint
origin of obturator internus
inner surface of obturator membrane
insertion of obturator internus
upper border of greater trochanter of femur
nerve supply of obturator internus
sacral plexus
action of obturator internus
lateral rotator of thigh at hip joint
