Anatomy - hip/gluteal region Flashcards
superficial gluteal muscles
which is the most superficial?
gluteus maximus(most superficial), medius and minimus
distal attachment of gluteus maximus
nerve supply?
iliotibial tract
inferior gluteal nerve
where do gluteus medius and minimus attach
nerve supply?
greater trochanter
nerve supply - superior gluteal nerve
deep muscles of the gluteal region
action?
piriformis
obturator internus
gemeli
quadratus femoris
the lateral rotators of the hip
where does the piriformis attach?
greater trochanter of femur
where do the obturator internus and gemeli attach?
greater trochanter
where do the superior and inferior gemeli originate?
superior - ischial spine
inferior - ischial tuberosity
what does the nerve to obturator internus supply?
obturator internus and superior gemeli
what does the nerve to quadratus femurs supply?
the quadratus femoris and the inferior gemeli
the most inferior of the deep gluteal muscles
quadratus femoris
sciatic nerve
L4-S3
pudendal nerve
S2-S4
posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh
S1-S3
the individual hamstring muscles are
semimembranosus
semitendinosus
long and short heads of biceps femoris
(but the SHORT HEAD CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A TRUE HAMSTRING MUSCLE)
origin of hamstring muscles
ischial tuberosity
