Muscles: test 4 (FINAL EXAM) Flashcards
(183 cards)
gluteus maximus insertion
most fibers end in iliotibial tract–> inserts into lateral condyle of tibia
some fibers insert on gluteal tuberosity of femur
Gluteus Maximus origin
ilium posterior to posterior gluteal line
dorsal surface of sacrum and coccyx
sacrotuberous ligament
gluteus maximus innervation
inferior gluteal nerve (L5,S1,S2)
gluteus maximus actions
extends hip joint between flexed and standing positions
assists in lateral rotation
steadies thigh and assists in rising from sitting position
gluteus medius origin
external surface of ilium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines
gluteus medius insertion
lateral surface of greater trochanter of femur
gluteus medius innervation
superior gluteal nerve (L4,L5,S1)
gluteus medius action
abduct
anterior portions–> medially rotate hip joint
keep pelvis level when opposite limb is elevated
gluteus minimus origin
external surface of ilium between anterior and inferior gluteal lines
gluteus minimus insertion
anterior surface of greater trochanter of femur
gluteus minimus innervation
superior gluteal nerve (L4,L5,S1)
gluteus minimus action
abduct
anterior portions–> medially rotate hip joint
keep pelvis level when opposite limb is elevated
tensor fasciae latae origin
anterior superior iliac spine
anterior part of iliac crest
tensor fasciae latae insertion
iliotibial tract– attaches to lateral condyle of tibia
tensor fasciae latae innervation
superior gluteal nerve (L4,L5,S1)
tensor fasciae latae action
flexes hip joint
acts with gluteus max. to stabilize the extended knee joint
Piriformis Origin
anterior surface of 2-4th sacral segments
superior margin of greater sciatic notch and sacrotuberous ligament
piriformis insertion
superior border of greater trochanter of femur
piriformis innervation
branches of anterior rami of S1,S2
piriformis action
laterally rotate extended hip joint
abduct flexed hip joint
steady femoral head in acetabulum
obturator internus origin
pelvic surface of ilium and ischium
obturator membrane
obturator internus insertion
medial surface of greater trochanter of femur
obturator internus innervation
nerve to obturator internus (L5,S1)
obturator internus action
laterally rotate extended hip joint
abduct flexed hip joint
steady femoral head in acetabulum
