Q

What does the musculovenous pump do?

Small saphenous

A

into the popliteal vein

31
Q

What can happen when valves fail?

What condition

A

varicose vein

32
Q

Pelvic girdle definition?

… … connected by … … and … …

A

osteoligamentous ring connected by sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and pubic symphysis

33
Q

Pelvic girdle consists of?

3 things

A
  • sacrum
  • hip bones
  • many ligaments
34
Q

Pelvic girdle articulates with?

give anatomical direction

A
  • laterally = femora x 2
  • inferiorly = coccyx
  • superiorly = L5 (disc and vertebral body)
35
Q

Sacroiliac ligaments help stabilise the SIJ’s

Sacroiliac ligaments consist of

3

A
  • anterior
  • interosseous (between bone)
  • posterior
36
Q

Sacrum consists of

4 features

A
  • 5 fused vertebrae
  • sacral canal (superior)
  • sacral hiatus (inferior)
  • contains spinal nerves
37
Q

What vertebrae does the spinal cord end at?

A

L1/L2

38
Q

Look at an unlabeled image of a lateral view of the pelvis

Features of pelvis

lateral view (4)

A
  • gluteal lines
  • ischial spine
  • ischial tuberosity
  • acetabulum
39
Q

look at an unlabeled image of a medial view of the pelvis

Features of pelvis

medial view (6)

A
  • articular surface
  • iliac crest
  • iliac fossa
  • anterior superior iliac spine
  • anterior inferior iliac spine
  • obturator foramen
40
Q

Pelvis consists of 3 bones

A
  • ilium
  • ischium
  • pubis
41
Q

Ischial tuberosity

attaches? movements caused? (2)

A

hamstrings
- extends thigh
- flexes knee

42
Q

What is the obturator foramen covered by?

A

obturator membrane

43
Q

What passes through the obturator foramen?

A

Obturator nerve vessels

44
Q

What is superior to the inguinal ligament?

relevance?

A

inguinal canal

relevance to inguinal hernia

45
Q

What is inferior to the inguinal ligament?

what happens here?

A

femoral artery

location for catheterisation

46
Q

functions of sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments

2

A
  • resists rotation of sacrum between hip bones
  • forms boundaries of greater and lesser sciatic foramina
47
Q

What structures exit through the greater sciatic foramen?
