Unit 2 Flashcards
(256 cards)
arcuate lines are where
on the ilium
pectineal lines are where
on the pubis
true pelvis is where
below the iliopectineal line
false pelvis is where
above the iliopectineal line
what is the indentation in the head of the humerus called
fovea capitis
what is the femoral head covered in?
hyaline cartilage (except for the fovea capitis)
what is the angle of inclination
angle formed by the femoral neck and the shaft of the femur
angle of inclination less than 120 degrees
coxa vara
angle of inclination greater than 135 degrees
coxa valga
where the sacrum articulates with the body of L5
Lumbosacral joint
are there more ligaments on the sacrococcygeal joint on the anterior or posterior side
posterior
what type of joint is the SI joint
synovial
what is the function of the Iliolumbar ligament
to maintain the position of the pelvis next to the vertebral column
where does the sacrotuberous ligament run?
from the PSIS–> Ischial tuberosity (also attaches to the sacrum)
where does the sacrospinous ligament run
from the lateral border of sacrum to the ischial spine
what separates the greater and lesser sciatic notes and turns them into foramen
sacrospinous ligament (and maybe sacrotuberous too)
2 large structures that come out of the greater sciatic foramen
- piriformis
- sciatic nerve
where does the piriformis run between
sacrum–>greater trochanter
7 small structures that pass thru the greater sciatic foramen
- ) superior gluteal n/a
- ) inferior gluteal n/a
- ) Posterior femoral cutaneous n
- ) Nerve to Quadratus Femoris
- ) Pudendal nerve
- ) Internal Pudendal artery
- ) Nerve to Obturator Internus
what are the 4 structures that pass thru the lesser sciatic foramen
Pudendal nerve
Internal Pudendal artery
Nerve to obturator internus
Obturator internus
where does obturator internus run
from the lesser sciatic foramen to the greater trochanter
piriformis syndrome will affect what
the sciatic nerve
lunate surface of the acetabulum is covered in what
hyaline cartilage
what is a “sling” that supports the femoral head
transverse acetabular ligament
