Anatomy Of The Gluteal Region Flashcards
Gluteal region is between
Iliac crest and fold of the buttock
The bones of the gluteal region are
1) coxal bone 2) femur 3) sacrum 4) coccyx bone
Lower limp is specialized for ____________ stability during weight bearing and gait
Stability
Lower limbs support the body weight and propulsion during
Locomotion
Lowe limbs link between the lower limbs and
Axial skeleton
Pelvic girdle is formed by:
Right & left coxal bones (form the anterior and lateral walls of the pelvis) and the sacrum and coccyx (form the posterior wall of the pelvis)
Ilium
-body & wing - iliac crest - iliac tuberosity - ASIS PSIS AIIS PIIS (anteriosuperior iliac spine=ASIS, posteriosuperior iliac spine=PSIS, anterioinferior iliac spine=AIIS, posterioinferior iliac spine=PIIS) - gluteal lines (anterior, inferior, and posterior) - GREATER SCIATIC NOTCH
Ischium
- Ischial spine - lesser sciatic notch - Ischial tuberosity - body and ramus
Pelvic bone: pubis
- body - superior ramus - inferior ramus - obturator foramen
