Anatomy II MT1 Flashcards
Other names for hip bone
os coxae, innominate bone
Obdurator foramen formed by fusion of
Ishium and pubis
Does the iliac fossa face more medial or lateral?
Medial, iliacus attaches
What type of joint is the sacroiliac joint?
1) Synovial (inferior)- auricular surfaces of ilium and sacrum, hyaline cartilage, capsule with synovial fluid. 2) Syndesmosis (posterior and superior) fibrous, thick bands of CT
Describe ventral and dorsal sacroiliac ligaments
Thickened regions of the sacroiliac joint capsule. Part of SI joint
Describe the interosseus sacroiliac ligament
Between iliac tuberosity and sacrum, syndesmotic portion of SI joint
Describe the sacrotuberous ligament
Sacrum to ischial tuberosity (forms lesser sciatic notch), part of SI joint
Describe the sacrospinous ligament
Sacrum to ischial spine (forms greater sciatic notch), part of SI joint
Describe the iliolumbar ligament
From iliac crest to TVP of L5, limits rotation and anterior gliding of L5 in relation to sacrum, limits side bending of L5 in relation to pelvis
What contributes to stability of the sacrum?
Downward compression of the sacrum (weight of upper body) causes interosseus ligaments to pull ilium bones together to tighten joint.
What limits anterior sacral rotation?
Ligaments: sacrotuberous, sacrospinous, and interosseus sacroiliac
What is nutation?
Rotation or tilting of sacrum around axis through interosseus ligaments
Describe anterior nutation
Sacral promontory moves inferior and anterior, coccyx moves superior and posterior
How does nutation affect the size of the pelvic outlet?
Nutation brings the iliac crests closer together and the ischial tuberosities further apart, increasing the size of the pelvic outlet.
What type of joint is the hip joint?
Synovial ball and socket
Describe the ligaments of the hip joint
1) Transverse acetabular ligament - enlarges articular surface? 2) Ligamentum teres of head of femur - from head of femur to transverse acetabular ligament
Three ligaments that are the main stabilizers of the hip joint? Which one is most important?
1) Iliofemoral - limits hyperextension of the femur (resists body falling back) Y ligament of Bigelow 1 is MOST IMP 2) Ischiofemoral - reinforces hip capsule posteriorly, 3) Pubofemoral - reinforces hip capsule inferiorly
What happens to all three ligaments when the hip is extended?
They wind around the hip joint and tighten
What does the pubofemoral ligament do?
Limit abduction
What limits flexion of the hip joint
Hamstring muscles
What are the implications of the epiphyseal plate to blood circulation in long bones?
Impedes blood circulation between head and neck, supplied by different arteries
What disrupts the femoral epiphyseal arteries?
Corticosteroids, trauma, fracture, dislocation
Describe blood supply to the femoral neck
Medial and lateral epiphyseal arteries. Medial is posterior, Lateral is anterior. The lateral arises from the medial femoral circumflex artery.
What muscle is important relative to the location of the sciatic nerve?
Piriformis, usually sciatic passes below, but can pass above or poke through
What structures do iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves innervate?
Lower ab muscles and skin
What structures does genitofemoral nerve innervate?
Cremaster muscle and thigh skin
What structure does lateral cutaneous nerve to thigh innervate
Lateral thigh skin
What nerves make up the sacral plexus?
Ventral rami from L4,5 and S1,2,3
Describe the roots and branches of the sciatic nerve
Roots: L4,5 and S1,2,3
Branches: Tibial nerve, Common Fibular nerve
Roots of superior gluteal nerve
L4,5 S1
Roots of inferior gluteal nerve
L5, S1,2
Describe roots and innervations of Pudendal nerve
Roots: S2,3,4
Innervations: Anal and urethral sphincters, external genitalia
Roots of posterior cutaneous nerve to thigh
S1,2,3
Roots of nerve to quadratus femoris?
L4,5, S1
Roots of nerve to obdurator interus?
L5, S1,2
What does the sciatic nerve innervate?
hamstrings, 1/2 adductor magnus, muscles of leg/foot
Does the superior gluteal nerve exit superior or inferior to the piriformis muscle? What about the inferior gluteal nerve?
Superior exits superior, inferior exits inferior
