Anatomy II Lecture 9 Gluteal Region and Hip Joint Flashcards
What is the cutaneous innervation of the upper medial quadrant of the buttock?
Posterior rami of L1-3, S1-3
What is the cutaneous innervation of the upper lateral quadrant of the buttock?
Iliohypogastric nerve (L1) Anterior rami T12
What is the cutaneous innervation of the Lower medial quadrant of the buttock?
Branches from posterior femoral nerves (S1-3)
What is the cutaneous innervation of the lower lateral quadrant of the buttock?
Branches from lateral femoral cutaneous nerve S2-3
The deep fascia of the gluteal region is continuous with
The deep fascia of the thigh (Fascia Lata)
- Single layer attached to iliac crest covering outer surface of Gluteus MEDIUS
- Splits and encloses the gluteus maximus
What continues as an iliotibial tract on the lateral surface of the thigh:
- Attached to tubercle of iliac crest superiorly
- Attached to lateral condyle inferiorly
- Forms sheath for tensor fascia latae muscle
- Receives greater part of an insertion of gluteus maximus
Deep fascia of the gluteal region
What is tied down to the bottom of the buttock and forms gluteal (natal) fold?
Superficial fascia of the gluteal region
Where do the structures that pass through the greater sciatic foramen go or come from?
Passageway for structures entering or leaving the pelvis
Where do the structures that pass through the lesser sciatic foramen go or come from?
Passageway for structures entering or leaving Perineum
What structures move through the greater sciatic foramen?
Piriformis Muscle
Sciatic Nerve
Superior/Inferior gluteal vessels and nerves
Pudendal Nerve (lesser sciatic foramen too)
**Internal Pudendal artery/Vein (lesser sciatic foramen too)
Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve
Nerves to quadratus femoris and obturator internus* (He said know this last one because obturator also passes through the lesser sciatic foramen)
What structures move through the lesser sciatic foramen?
Tendon of obturator internus Nerve to obturator internus Pudendal nerve Internal pudendal vessels (All but the tendon also passes through the greater)
What divides the sciatic notch into a greater foramen and a lesser foramen?
Sacrospinous
What do all of these have in common? Obturator membrane Sacrotuberous Sacrospinous Sacroiliac Iliolumbar
Ligaments of articulated pelvis
What are the posterior ligaments of the pelvis
Posterior sacrospinous ligament
Sacrotuberous ligaments
Sacrospinous ligaments
Refer to fig 6.6
Which of the following are part of the lateral compartment of the gluteal abductors? A. Gluteus Medius B. Gluteus Maximus C. Gluteus Minimus D. Tensor Fascia Latae
B. Gluteus Maximus: Posterior compartment
Lateral compartment:
A. Gluteus Medius
C. Gluteus Minimus
D. Tensor Fascia Latae
What is the function of the gluteal group abductors?
Prevent pelvis and body from falling to the unsupported side when one foot is off the ground (I.e. walking)
What is the function of the six deep external rotators of the gluteus?
Rotate unsupported side of the pelvis forward to increase stride
What is the origin and insertion of the gluteus maximus?
Origin: Posterior gluteal line of ilium; Surfaces of sacrum, coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament
Insertion: Gluteal tuberosity and Iliotibial tract
