Anatomy 1 - Pelvis muscles Flashcards
Origin of psoas major?
- Vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs between T12-L4
- Transverse processes of L1-L5 vertebrae
Insertion of psoas major?
Lesser trochanter of femur
Function of psoas major?
- Flexion of the thigh/trunk at the hip joint
- Lateral rotation of the thigh
- Lateral flexion of the trunk
Which muscles are blended together to form iliopsoas?
Psoas major and iliacus
Origin of iliacus?
Iliac fossa (upper two-thirds)
Insertion of iliacus?
Lesser trochanter of femur (blends in with psoas major tendon)
Function of iliacus?
Flexion of the thigh/trunk
Origin of tensor fasciae latae and iliotibial tract?
- Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
- Anterior outer lip of the iliac crest
Insertion of tensor fasciae latae and iliotibial tract?
TFL –> IT –> lateral condyle of tibia (Gerdy’s tubercule)
Function of TFL-iliotibial tract?
- IR of the hip
- Weak AB of the hip
- Stabilises hip/knee joints
- ER of the knee,
- Weak F/E of the knee
Origin of gluteus maximus?
- Posterior gluteal line of ilium
- Sacrotuberous ligament
- Lateral posterior surface of sacrum and coccyx
Insertion of gluteus maximus?
- Upper fibers: iliotibial tract
- Lower: gluteal tuberosity of femur
Function of gluteus maximus?
- E
- ER
- AB of the hip
Origin of gluteus medius?
Gluteal surface of ilium (btw posterior and anterior gluteal lines)
Insertion of gluteus medius?
Lateral surface of the greater trochanter of the femur
